Adorable mini Regency pendant modelled as a padlock, with a matching tiny key suspended from the base.
 
The padlock is created from fine gold work with tiny balls and fancy rope like coils, set with eight turquoise stones and is so typical of this period.
In the centre there is a tiny crescent shaped rock crystal locket which used to contain a mini lock of hair, now empty.
 
Two lengths of micro chain connected to the padlock handle join together at the top with a small gold ring and through this ring you can thread your gold chain.
