Rio Gold Lock Heart Necklace

Golden Lock. Endless Love.

Handcrafted in Brazil, this elegant lock pendant necklace blends intricate detail with meaningful design. A classic lock silhouette is elevated by fine nailhead texture and a sparkling keyhole accented with brilliant cubic zirconia stones. Flip it over to reveal a delightful surprise—engraved hearts on the back, like a hidden love note you can wear every day.

The radiant gold tone comes from a signature multi-layered overlay technique developed by a multi-generational Italian family in Brazil. First, 24K gold is applied to a lightweight brass base, followed by thick layers of 22K and 18K gold. The result is a luminous finish rated between 18K–24K that’s water-resistant, nickel-free, and hypoallergenic—crafted to shine for years to come.

Elegant yet playful, this piece brings sparkle, symbolism, and story to your everyday style.
