Rare Ruby Key To My Heart Pendant/Brooch
 
A motif I truly adore - the padlock, the key and the heart. You have the key to my heart.
An amatory piece, and the beautiful pink rubies accentuate the romance here. 
 
The dinky padlock has a hinged rock crystal locket back to the centre, it's crescent shape would have held a tiny lock of hair from the lover. You can add yours as it is now empty.
Hanging from the central piece is an adorable gold key and a ruby heart
 
The tiny beading and swirls date this piece to about 1820
 
Soon these pieces will be obsolete!! And their beauty will never be replicated
