Very cool. Don't care for the heart shape. I did not buy this for my wife. Rather, I wanted it to serve as part of a game I will challenge my cousin in order for him to enjoy the reward of success.

Regarding the quality of the Cryptex, the metal is low grade and the columns don't rotate as smoothly as I would like. But for such a cheap price and my intended usage, it fits the bill perfectly. I would not expect this to last more than a few years unless extra care is taken to prevent rust...

Solid, well-built item, hefty, substantial in the hand. The Mrs. loved getting the earrings I bought separately in it.

Oddly, got a sympathy card in the box; not sure how this would be good for that sort of occasion. And the LOTR 'Rings of Power" are children's rings at best. But these are free extras, so I'm not including them.

It's a unique way to give someone a note or small trinket. And if your recipient is a steampunk fan, they will ADORE the Cryptex - but even if they're not, it's really cool AF.

I purchased this as part of a scavenger hunt for my boyfriend's birthday. It was delivered quickly without issue. It came wit some additional items (rings, dried flowers, cord necklaces for the rings) that were not needed so I threw them out. My only complaint is that this item does not come with instructions (or if I remember accurately, it came with instructions that were in japanese or cantonese) so in order to find out how to change the password I would suggest reading the customer reviews. Once you read them it's quite easy to change the password. The cryptex is great quality. solid metal, very authentic looking and feeling. It was a GREAT gift.

This item was perfect for my proposal. The code is easily customizable making this item even more special. For the price, the item made for a lasting memory of one of the most special days off our lives. I would definitely recommend it.

I wanted to give my girlfriend something special for her birthday and thought I'd have a little fun by using this. I placed the order and within 5 days it arrived (I don't have Amazon Prime). Inside the Amazon packaging box was a small brown bag with cloth/string handles on either side. Insured the bag was an antique golden box. On pulling this out of the bag I noticed the box was extremely heavy. The box is made of cardboard but very solid. One side is closed with the use of a magnetic strip which is very nice. On opening you see a styrofoam cover which again looks antique, a dark brown color. Removing this you will then see a card with a ships anchor attached to it and a spiritual verse written on the card. Nice touch! On removing this you then see the Cryptex. It looks just like the picture. Taking it out, you notice the weight. It's very heaving! I turned the dial to ILOVEU and it opens. The whole thing feels of quality. Smooth dials, solid construction. Once I opened the Crytex you see through a heart shaped window into the cyclinder 2 rings, one gold and one silver...the gold ring being the largest. They are the replicas of the LOTRs ring! I wish they were metal but they are plastic. Nevertheless they look great! Also in the box was 2 leather necklaces so you can hang the rings around your neck. Nice!

I've read the instructions on how to change the Cryptex password and while it sounds easy enough I'm not going to try, just in case I break it. I don't think my girl friend will guess the code is ILOVEU that easily.

Overall, this is excellent. It would look great on your desk! I'm very happy and impressed with this item. Well worth the money.
