Regency 15ct Gold Padlock set with an Almandine Garnet

787U
120 Admirers
Written by Olly Gerrish

A lovely heart shaped padlock that can either be worn on a chain around the neck or attached to a bracelet. It is 15ct gold and has been set with a rectangular cut almandine garnet. The gold has been finely engraved with swirling leaves and a thistle suggesting that it originated in Scotland. On the reverse is a glazed section that would originally have held a lock of hair. The top hinges back to open. It was made circa 1830-1840 and is in beautiful condition.
