Vintage 9ct Rose Gold Heart Padlock Pendant

1940 - 1960
Description

This vintage 9ct Gold heart padlock pendant is just beautiful! Made entirely from solid 9ct Gold, you can easily add this piece to a chain, bracelet, or split ring for the perfect finish.

During the Edwardian period, padlocks were worn on bracelets by women whose significant others were leaving for an extended period of time. The bracelet would be locked onto the woman’s wrist by the padlock charm, to which only her beloved would have the key- he would then open it upon his return.

The padlock is in excellent working order and would look great on a chain or bracelet.

Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Heart padlocks gained immense popularity during the Victorian era as symbols of locked hearts and fidelity. They were commonly designed as functional clasps for gate link bracelets or worn independently as decorative pendants.

These pieces were traditionally crafted in 9ct or 15ct rose and yellow gold, featuring a hollow or solid core, a spring-loaded hinged shackle, and hand-engraved motifs such as screw heads or floral accents.

Authentic period examples feature official British hallmarks stamped on the reverse or shackle indicating gold purity, alongside makers marks and evidence of hand-finishing rather than modern uniform casting.

A heart padlock can be suspended from a heavy gold chain as a focal pendant, appended to a charm bracelet, or layered alongside contemporary gold chains for a mixed-era look.

Clean gently using a soft lint-free cloth and warm, mild soapy water, avoiding full submersion if the internal spring mechanism is hollow. Store individually in a lined jewellery box to prevent surface scratches.
