Not a plain heart — a heart-shaped padlock. Each charm is cast with a raised keyhole on the face and a curved shackle across the top, the arch that on a real lock swings open and here becomes the hanging loop.

That extra detail carries a meaning a plain heart does not. The love-lock idea — a padlock fastened to a railing and the key thrown away — is why this shape turns up on engagement and anniversary cards, wedding favour boxes, guest-book displays and nikkah decoration far more often than a simple heart charm does.

The shackle doubles as the fitting, which saves a step. Ribbon, cord, a jump ring or a length of jute passes straight under the arch, so a charm ties onto a favour box or hangs from a chain with nothing else needed.

The finish photographed is a bright warm gold with the keyhole and the shackle picked out in relief. Against kraft brown, cream card and deep red it reads clearly, which covers most wedding and Valentine palettes without any further thought.

Beyond cards and favours they work as bag and zip charms, bracelet danglers, keyring pieces, scrapbook embellishments and the small hanging detail on a gift box that lifts it above plain ribbon.

They are supplied sealed in a clear pack with a printed hanging header card. They suit craft from about five years upward with an adult nearby, since a charm of this size is a choking hazard for younger children.

The Safencia price is Rs. 320 for the pack. Cash on Delivery is available across Pakistan, and stock, your city and delivery charges are confirmed on WhatsApp before dispatch.
