Love my lock necklace. It's a perfect piece for me to wear while I'm working out and transition to my street clothes. It looks so pretty and it's super comfortable. It doesn't swing around which I really love.

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!

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.

Beautiful! I got lots of comments when I wore it to work.
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!
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.

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

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 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.
I love jewelry, and I finally did your seven for 85. I like to wear the jewelry all the time I live in Alaska. I work outside hard. I need to make sure that the jewelry is dependable. It won't tarnish and won't break. So far the jewelry that I got has held up I am waiting to see if it does not tarnish or if the colors come off.

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.
