Antique Edwardian 9ct Gold Heart Padlock Fancy Oval Curb Bracelet | 8"

This quality antique curb bracelet features a rare heart padlock patent fastening and is modelled in 9ct gold, dating back to the Edwardian era.

This bracelet is all original and displays very pretty elongated curb links, complete with a safety chain. It also has hallmarks on each link and the heart padlock, too.

Padlock bracelets became popular during the Victorian period, they were worn by women whose significant others were leaving for an extended period of time. The bracelet would be locked onto the woman’s wrist by the padlock charm, to which only her beloved would have the key- he would then open it upon his return.

This bracelet is a beautiful example of this style, which is in excellent antique condition, complete with a safety chain.

CONDITION
This antique bracelet is now over 100 years old! However, it remains in very good condition for its age; structurally, the bracelet is sound and features no signs of thinning or wear. There is some light surface wear and patina in keeping with age, but nothing that deflects from the piece's beauty.
