Hallmarked for 1973, a beautifully crafted sterling silver Victorian style curb chain bracelet with a large heart padlock clasp. The thick links on this vintage bracelet are solid, not hollow and they are hallmarked and stamped with the makers mark throughout the links and on the padlock which, is always a sign of high quality and proves the padlock is still original to the bracelet.
The links are diamond cut where they connect to each other which helps the bracelet sit nice and flat. No key is required for the padlock, the clasp simply pushes in at the nub to open and locks closed with a satisfying snap. The bracelet has the added benefit of its original safety chain. Lovely quality classic piece!
