A beautifully decorative 1930s vintage 18ct rolled gold (gold filled) "gate" bracelet with a front fastening heart padlock, complete with a real keyhole.
The gold has a rich rosy high carat hue with the bracelet featuring 2 rows of long faceted fancy links joined by articulated box links. This construction gives the bracelet a lovely fluid movement when worn. The love heart padlock is a generous statement size and it is finished in a classic safety chain.
This bracelet is in lovely condition with no wearing away of the thick gold overlay so still it looks and feels like the real thing. The clasp snaps safely closed with a satisfying click.
A beautiful quality 18ct rolled gold gate bracelet hailing from the Art Deco era, "gate" bracelets are so called because the long and short links resemble the horse paddock gates and fences seen dotted around the British countryside.
