Lock and key jewellery, or the lock necklace – whereby a lock and key is combined into a charm, is used to signify a secured (and sometimes, secret) love connection: One half of the lock-and-key set is kept by each partner to maintain a feeling of connection – even when both partners are (or have to be) physically apart.
