Classic Padlock Charm - Gold Stainless Steel - 9.5x16.2mm
A Padlock the Size of a Fingernail
A padlock in gold-tone stainless steel with a keyhole cut clean through the body, four small rivets around it and a shackle across the top. It measures 9.5mm wide by 16.2mm tall.
At 2.11g there is real weight in a small body and it hangs squarely rather than tipping. Both faces carry the same rivets and the same keyhole.

Choose Charm only to add it to a bracelet you already own. Charm + Clasp adds a small lobster clasp so it clips straight on - no pliers, no open links - and it works just as well on a bag, a zip pull, a keyring or a watch strap. Charm + Gold Bracelet or Charm + Silver Bracelet pairs it with our Gold or Silver Paperclip Chain Bracelet - fine-gauge stainless steel, adjustable from 16cm to 20cm. Bought as a set they cost 30% less than buying separately.
The lock is one of the few symbols that means two opposite things at once - shut out, or kept safe. Roman houses had them, medieval reliquaries had them, and the padlocks tied to bridges mean the second reading rather than the first. Worn small on a wrist it usually stands for what someone is protecting, not what they are refusing. A gift for her who guards what matters.

No stones and no enamel, so nothing can work loose, and stainless steel does not tarnish, rust or turn skin green. The keyhole and the dips around the rivets will hold cream - rinse, dry, and use a soft dry brush across the face now and then. Full guidance at our Stainless Steel Care Card and the JewelCare™ hub.
FAQs
1. Does it open?
No. It is a decorative charm rather than a working lock - there is no mechanism inside and nothing to unlock.
2. Is the back the same?
Yes. The keyhole is cut through and the rivets appear on both faces.
3. Is there a matching key?
Yes - the range has several. The Round Openwork Key (IHSMC102) is the closest match in scale.
4. Will it tarnish?
No. Stainless steel does not tarnish, rust or turn skin green, and the gold tone is a plated finish over that stainless steel core rather than a lacquer that can peel.
5. Does it arrive gift-ready?
Yes - every order is packed to give. See JewelGift™.
How to Style the Padlock
Compact and heavy for its size, so it holds its place in a stack without taking it over. Pair it with a key charm on the same bracelet if you want the pairing read, or wear it alone if you would rather it stayed ambiguous. Hang it on a DuoTone™ or FortunaLink™ bracelet, browse the whole MiniCharm™ range, or start your stack at JewelBuild™.
