This beautiful vintage English 9ct gold curb chain bracelet comes complete with heart padlock clasp and decorative safety chain, an absolute classic that has been loved throughout the ages.
Crafted in bright buttery yellow 9ct gold the solid (not hollow) links are fused closed and are a perfect medium gauge (1.75mm thick) with the bracelet weighing in at a respectable 20.5 grams. The heart padlock is charmingly realistic with a little keyhole and embossed screw head motifs
This bracelet looks beautiful worn exactly as it is and it is the perfect piece for adding gold charms to start your very own heirloom charm bracelet. During the sentimental Victorian and Edwardian eras these romantic heart padlock bracelets were a fashionable and enduring engagement gift and they have never gone out of style.
A gorgeous, hard wearing and luxurious solid gold sweetheart bracelet that you will want to wear forever!
