In Chinese tradition, the lock fastens a child to good fortune.
Cloud-scroll contours frame the top.
At the center, the character 福 carries the wish for blessing.
Below it, a fish moves across a gold lattice. The word for fish, yu, echoes the word for surplus: more than enough, year after year.
An ancient coin rests beside it, a sign of prosperity.
Three round drops hang from the lower edge and move with the child.

Part of the First Blessing Collection, made for the earliest milestones of a child's life.

Gold given at the start of a life tends to stay with it.
