The overall shape is rectangular with rounded corners, and a semi-circular shackle reminiscent of a real padlock. The surface has a golden finish with a patinated appearance, highlighting its vintage character. The visible side is decorated with embossed patterns: a central keyhole-shaped lock and four small triangular elements arranged around it, reinforcing the decorative aspect inspired by antique padlocks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe entire pendant displays a slightly irregular texture, typical of 1950s costume jewelry creations. The outlines are well-defined, and the relief creates an interesting play of light. The upper shackle, also with a golden finish, is adorned with two molded decorative rings, giving an impression of robustness while remaining visually light. No markings or inscriptions are visible on the presented side.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe overall style echoes the aesthetic of post-war costume jewelry, with both a playful and symbolic inspiration. This type of pendant was often worn alone or layered on a short chain or ribbon. The padlock motif, associated with the lock, is a strong symbol of attachment and secrecy, frequently used in vintage jewelry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe dominant color is a warm gold, with darker shades in the hollows providing contrast and highlighting the relief. The object shows discreet traces of oxidation or micro-scratches, consistent with old manufacturing and prolonged storage (deadstock). The back, bottom, or other sides are not visible in the photo and therefore cannot be described.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis pendant stands out for its strong retro look and universal symbolism. It fits perfectly into a collection of period jewelry or can be worn as a statement accessory with a contemporary outfit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsed item, sold as is.
