This hand crafted and one of a kind padlock is one of Sevan’s most recognizable motifs, and his inspiration behind the lock goes back to his childhood. The Turkish tradition behind the motif was to fasten them for protection and lock the fences of holy mausoleums. There were also given as romantic gifts meant for locking away secrets. He says, “Once a padlock is put around the neck, the person becomes a precious and beautiful object.” This amazing one of a kind pendant is a wearable masterpiece designed by Sevan Bicakci. Intended to fasten to one of his sterling silver chains, this splendid large padlock is carved out of sterling silver with inlaid gold shoulders. The front of the lock is embellished with sparkling white diamonds in the shape of two doves, outlined with black diamonds, and rubies. Doves represent peace, life, and freedom, which are symbolic to Sevan and portray the freedom of expression in his work. The reverse side of the sterling silver lock is hand engraved and beautiful in all directions. Each piece is signed and dated, and the chain is sold separately.
