A timeless classic, this gold heart padlock is such a sweet piece to add to your jewellery box. Often used as clasps for charm bracelets, these padlocks can also be added onto chains and worn as a pendant/charm too. They can even be used as charm holders!
The padlock is made of 9ct gold, with British hallmarks for the maker 'ASJ', 9ct gold, London and the date letter 'B' for 1976 to the back. The front of the padlock has lovely faux screw and keyhole detailing. The lever opens by pulling upwards and closes with a click so it is nice and secure when worn.
The padlock measures approx 18.3mm tall (including the ring on the top bar and ring at the very top) by approx 13mm wide by approx 2.6mm deep and weighs approx 1.55g.
Condition - The padlock is in good vintage condition with some surface wear to the gold throughout. The hinge mechanism works well and the lever pulls open and pushes closed with a click. This top lever looks to be ever so slightly out of shape but this doesn't alter how it works. Please see photos.
*Please note the box and chain pictured are not included in the sale but the padlock will be shipped in a new presentation box and pouch.*
