Antique 9ct Rose Gold Engraved Heart-Shaped Padlock Clasp / Pendant

An enchanting antique heart-shaped padlock charm, crafted in warm 9ct rose gold and beautifully adorned with intricate hand-engraved scrolling details. The elegant design is centred with a traditional keyhole motif, a romantic feature often associated with affection, devotion, and treasured keepsakes.

Originally designed as a functional heart padlock clasp, pieces such as these were often worn on antique bracelets and Albert chains, though today they are equally admired as distinctive pendants or charms in their own right. The softly aged rose gold lends a gentle warmth, beautifully complementing the finely engraved decoration and rich antique character.

Delicately proportioned yet full of sentiment and craftsmanship, this is a charming piece that offers a wonderful connection to the past. The piece bears the maker’s mark “CDB”, thought to possibly relate to Charles Daniel Broughton, a gold and silver chain maker working in St Paul’s Square, Birmingham during the late Victorian era.

Whether worn suspended from a chain as a pendant or added to a curated collection of antique jewellery, it brings timeless appeal and enduring romance.

The vintage jewellery box is for display purposes only and is not included in the sale.
