This isn't just a heart charm; it's a tiny padlock shaped like a heart. The shackle at the top isn't decorative—it's how the pendant is attached directly to the chain, so it always hangs straight and stays right at the front.

The centrepiece is a small, three-dimensional heart that's shaped like a padlock. It has a bright, mirror-like polish that reflects everything around it. Set right in the middle is a single, heart-shaped cubic zirconia, cut to catch a lot of light. The pendant hangs from a delicate gold-plated chain made of small, oval links. It's a simple design, with the focus all on that little lock.

We start with a solid base of 925 sterling silver for the pendant and chain. Then, we plate it with a thick layer of 14K gold, which is over 58% pure gold, for that warm, yellow colour. To protect the plating, we add a clear layer of E-coating. This acts as a barrier against moisture and air, which means it helps prevent the silver from tarnishing and the gold from wearing off. The heart-shaped stone is a cubic zirconia, and the whole piece is hypoallergenic.

• Base Material: 925 Sterling Silver

The main reason people pick this necklace is that the pendant doesn't slide around. The padlock's shackle attaches directly to the chain, fixing the heart right in the centre. You can put it on and forget about it, without having to constantly check if it's sitting straight.
