Antique Heart Padlock Fancy Gate 15ct Gold Bracelet

Description

This beautiful textured Antique Bracelet, modelled in 15ct yellow gold and dating to the Edwardian period, has a firm heart padlock fastening. The padlock has been engraved reading 'From N.C.S.S TO LJ' and dated '1908' on the reverse.

Padlock bracelets became popular during the Victorian period. They were worn by women whose significant others were leaving for an extended period. The bracelet was locked onto the woman’s wrist by the padlock charm, to which only her beloved had the key—they would then open it upon their return.

Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Heart padlock bracelets originated during the Victorian era, symbolising affection and commitment, where the functional padlock secured the piece onto the wearers wrist.

These bracelets were predominantly crafted in 9ct, 15ct, or 18ct yellow gold, constructed from interlocked solid or hollow bars held together with jump rings and completed with a heart clasp.

15ct gold was a recognised British fineness standard between 1854 and 1932, identifiable by hallmarks stamped with 15 or .625 alongside specific assay office symbols.

The geometric links and warm metal tone allow it to be worn individually alongside structured tailoring or combined with modern gold bangles for a layered look.

Store the item separately in a fabric-lined pouch, clean gently using a soft cloth with warm water, and routinely verify that the safety chain and padlock mechanism operate correctly.
