This was a Valentine’s day gift from my partner. I wear it daily, my new go to!
I've been looking for the perfect size lock with my fiancé's letter on it. As we see, the lock and key as a symbol of us and it is perfect. I haven't taken it off since getting my 7 amazing pieces!
I have not taken it off, even i the shower, still shining
All my favorite pieces
Pretty nice...time will tell if it holds up. Follow-up...after maybe purchsing a week ago, just fell off my neck...chain broke...so would not recommend.
It looked just like the pictures! It's sturdy and durable - I haven't taken it off since it arrived and the metal hasn't tarnished whatsoever. It's survived showers, hot tubs, and long 12 hour shifts.
My perfect forever necklace for my daughters initial
Very cute necklace. I do wish that you could offer longer chains with your necklaces. Not just extenders but actual longer chains.
Love it. Small & adorable. Goes with everything.
Beautiful! I got lots of comments when I wore it to work.
Love it. Simple yet noteworthy
I love this little lock ideas, its super cute and not bulky.
Was a great experience, got my stuff fast and no issues. They look great and no fades or tarnish
Love the jewelry, I wear it everyday all day. I get so many compliments and people asking where it from, Affordable luxury
I love this necklace! It’s simple yet cute in the best way. I wear it everyday to sleep, shower, workout, etc. It hasn’t changed at all. Great quality!
Love this necklace, it’s one of my daily staples
I bought this necklace for my granddaughter. She's a special person to me and when she comes to visit I try each time to have a surprise for her. She's coming for the summer and I can't wait to see her eyes light up with this surprise. I love this necklace with the first initial of her name and she's going to love it also. Wonderful choice for her and myself because I ordered another with my initial on it. So we will be twinning :) as we sometimes do as grandmother and granddaughter. Thanks L.C.
Very cute necklace. I can wear this for days without taking it off. Pairs well with other necklaces!
Great quality and I would recommend for others! Creative designs, which is what is most important to me. Good communication and delivery too.
LOVE THIS necklace. Many compliments however the o rings need to be stronger better quality a small tug from pulling up my hair broke the connection. I was able to use tweezers to put back together but not an easy task
Several people have asked me where I got this piece! Simple but still a statement.
Very cute but the letter is not attractive in the way its printed on
Really cute but really small lock and you can’t see the initial J
Great customer service! My original piece discolored and they replaced it no questions asked.
My favorite necklace. All three of boys’ names start with J, so this has a lot of meaning for me!! I haven’t had it long, and have had to fix it twice (the clasp onto the lock slipped out), but I just love it so much for the meaning, I don’t mind. I don’t take it off!!
I haven’t taken this off since I got it and it’s held up very well! Showers, perfumes, exercise, etc.
I ordered a, C necklace. Beautiful necklace. 4/5 stars as the C is misprinted a little bit.
I absolutely love this necklace and would recommend this. It is cute, feminine, and adorable—everything I wanted in this necklace. So far, I have not taken it off and have worn it every day. It still looks wonderful.
Loved the p but somehow I received a Q instead of an I so that’s no good and bracelet is too small! So honestly it was a waste of $
Perfect small necklace
The heart necklace came broken...which was the main reason I placed the order.
I really like it but the letter J is really hard to see, so that was the only disappointment. Otherwise, super cute necklace.
Beautiful jewelry!! Better than the pictures.
Cute little lock necklace
Dainty
Love this lock!
Love it. Its the perfect size 🥰
Love!
So delicate and beautiful
Questions
Frequently asked
The honest answers, before you ask.
Is it really 100% waterproof?
Yes — shower, ocean, pool, gym. Our pieces are 316L surgical-grade stainless steel fused with 18k gold, so water, sweat, lotion and perfume can't touch them.
Will it tarnish or turn my skin green?
No. Unlike plated jewelry, fused gold doesn't flake, fade or oxidize — and it's nickel-free and lead-free, so it's safe for the most sensitive skin. If it ever tarnishes, our Lifetime Color Warranty replaces it free.
How long does shipping take?
US orders arrive in 3–7 business days with tracking sent within 24–48 hours. Free shipping on orders over $65.
What if it doesn't fit or I don't love it?
30-day free returns and exchanges — no hoops, no restocking fees.
