An incredibly heavy and chunky all original vintage sterling silver curb chain bracelet with a heart padlock clasp that bears good clear hallmarks for London 1972.
This bracelet is stamped throughout the links with the British lion passant for sterling, extensive hallmarking like this is always a sign of a quality chain. The bracelet has very thick solid links (not hollow) with the end rings soldered safely closed. It has a large size heart padlock complete with a real keyhole. No key is required to open the padlock, the hasp simply pushes in at the nub to open it and it swings back and locks closed with a solid click. A built in safety chain completes this impressive piece.
A fabulous British classic for the woman who likes to make a statement, this "sweetheart" bracelet will never go out of style and you will want to wear her forever!
