Antique 9ct Gold Heart Padlock Clasp (Hallmarked, London, 1968)

Set in fully hallmarked 9ct yellow gold, this lovely, large padlock clasp is in full working order and is clearly hallmarked for 9ct Gold, and London, 1968. It features two false screws and key hole on the front and aside from its hallmarks, is plain on its reverse. The clasp is beautifully embossed to the front, and it opens and snaps shut nicely.

This beautiful padlock's versitility means you can either slip it onto a split ring or charm bracelet, or thread a fine chain through its centre, to wear it as a pendant. The padlock closes firmly so could also be used as a secure clasp for a charm or curb link bracelet. It even has a central mini loop within which a safety chain can be hung.

This is a large padlock, measuring 2.7cm wide x 1.8cm long (not including the clasp) It remains in splendid condition, with only light surface scratches (as would be expected in a padlock of this age) and is a good weight of 4.2g.

Please note that this padlock is sold on its own and does not come with the chain pictured.
