The visible face features a shape reminiscent of a miniature padlock, with soft, rounded contours and a semi-circular shackle. The central part is adorned with an embossed motif, composed of four small hearts arranged around a central keyhole-shaped opening.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe metal finish displays a matte gilded patina, with slight darker nuances in the recesses, accentuating the relief of the decoration and enhancing the antique effect.
