Vintage Victorian Heart Lock Charm 9k Yellow Gold

This 9K yellow gold heart lock charm measures .75 x .50 inches. The Victorian aesthetics with detailed engraving and a functional lock mechanism worked into the heart shape. At three-quarters of an inch tall, it has good presence on a charm bracelet without overwhelming other charms or weighing down a necklace chain. 

The 9K gold composition was common in British jewelry and contains 37.5% pure gold mixed with other metals for durability. Victorian details include decorative scroll work and dimensional shaping that gives the heart depth rather than a flat profile. The lock design includes a keyhole opening on the front, and the charm can be added to existing bracelets or worn as a pendant.
