Lancastrian Jewellers has dated this Gold Heart Padlock Ring to the 1930s.
Padlocks first became popular during the Victorian period, worn by women whose significant others were leaving for an extended period. The significance was that the padlock would be locked onto the woman, and only her beloved would have the key- he would then open it upon his return.

Mainly popular on bracelets, padlock rings are much more scarce and collectable.
Imagine the joy on your loved one's face when they receive this rare, beautifully crafted ring. It's not just a piece of jewellery, it's a symbol of your love and thoughtfulness.
