Now with  your heart still active.....right click duplicate..transform again and repeat making the heart narrower again and the lock opening up more.

Now go to path drawing tool..shape..rectangle.. Make a small narrow rectangle the LENGTH of your key heart..It should maintain the material from your heart..if not repeat that part over..getting the material the same as the keyheart. 
 
Move the rectangle you made up in the hearts place.
And one last time using the transform tool..rotate the top lock open more.
 save as 

Now you should have 5 of the gold rings..made and rotated and sent to the back each time..
