A beautiful antique Victorian silver curb chain bracelet with a heart padlock clasp complete with a real keyhole. The padlock is stamped with assay marks for 1892 and the chain is stamped throughout the links with the lion passant for sterling, extensive hallmarking is always a sign of good quality.
The bracelet links are graduated and the pretty padlock is a lovely chubby heart shape with an engraved accent line, it has a ring on the side where the safety chain threads through, a lovely little decorative touch that adds to the charming appeal. The padlock opens by depressing the little lever on the hasp and it clicks closed to fasten.
A fabulous Victorian jewel, a perfect addition the your antique jewellery collection, timeless and classic! During the sentimental Victorian era these bracelets were often given to a sweetheart and they became a popular and enduring engagement gift. Please note the antique bracelet box is not included.
