Garnet padlock

A nice plump nine carat gold engraved padlock with gold curlicues, set with a cabochon garnet, circa 1880. There is a locket compartment to reverse. The padlock measures 1 and 1/4 inches by 3/4 of an inch. Substantial and immaculate. If you’d prefer to wear it as a pendant my jeweller can solder a gold loop on the top.
