Mallory Gold Vermeil Lock Pendant Necklace

The Mallory is a gold vermeil lock pendant on an 18-inch gold-filled chain. The lock is small and smooth, with clean flat faces that catch light without any engraving or embellishment to distract from the shape. It is recognizable as a lock without announcing itself, which is what makes it work as an everyday piece.

At 18 inches, it sits at the collarbone. The on-model photo shows how it wears: close to the neck, the pendant small enough to layer with other chains without crowding them, or to wear on its own when you want something simple and considered.

Gold vermeil is a thick layer of gold over sterling silver, which gives it more durability and a richer finish than standard gold plating. It is a good choice for a pendant you plan to wear regularly.

If the clasp has been a reason to leave necklaces sitting out, the gold 8" Claspable attaches to the existing clasp and lets you put it on by yourself, no help needed.
