UNLOCK CLASSIC transcends the traditional ornamental nature of jewelry. Using the lock as a metaphor for life, each piece becomes an emotional vessel for contemporary women to explore the self and inscribe their journey.
It features minimalist geometric forms and flowing lines, shaping a stylish, elegant silhouette while reinterpreting the symbolic meaning of the lock: The classic stripes on the lock surface represent forward movement in a woman's journey; The center area supports double-sided engraving of letters, words, or patterns, allowing each wearer to express her beliefs, memories, and aspirations; Every line converges toward the central conviction, together interpreting the spirit of an independent woman persistently advancing toward her ideals.
Its detachable structure allows the pendant to transform freely between necklace, earrings, and bracelet, adapting to different moments and moods, and turning wearing into a creative, playful experience.
Crafted with CNC precision cutting and made from recycled 18K gold, each lock is both structurally sound and meticulously detailed. This union of beauty and resilience is designed for lasting daily wear while remaining responsible to the environment.
UNLOCK CLASSIC merges profound emotional expression with its very design language, proposing a new definition for modern jewelry: More than a piece of jewelry, it is a wearable manifesto for the contemporary woman to express herself and explore life, accompanying and encouraging them to continue discovering their own journeys.
