Description

This beautiful Antique Gate Bracelet has a rolled gold heart padlock fastening with beautifully designed gated links, modelled in 18ct Rolled Gold, dating to circa.1910.

This Victorian gate link bracelet is modelled in 18ct rolled gold with a warm golden hue and a polished finish. The piece comprises textured, multi-strand gate links connected to a heart-shaped padlock clasp complete with a decorative keyhole, screw-head accents, and a safety chain. The photograph displays the blue velvet interior of a yellow-rimmed box, the yellow fabric lining of the box lid, and the metallic gleam of the gold links against the dark fabric. The padlock bears the hallmark "18CT ROLLED GOLD". The links show minor wear to their shape and the heart padlock has a small dent. The bracelet measures 17.78 cm in length and 0.685 cm wide, while the heart padlock measures 1.8 cm by 1.3 cm, with a total weight of 15.87 grams. This item suits everyday wear as a personal accessory, or storage in a jewellery box or display case when not being worn.

FAQs

A gate bracelet features interlocking metal bars designed to resemble traditional English wooden gates, secured with a functioning heart-shaped padlock fastener and safety chain.

These items were predominantly crafted from solid yellow gold, rose gold, or high-quality rolled gold, which bonded a layer of gold onto a base metal core.

Authentic pieces usually show light surface patina around the joints, stamped hallmarks or maker marks on the heart padlock clasp, and hand-fitted safety chain attachments.

It functions as a tailored wrist piece that can be worn individually as a focal point or layered alongside sleek modern bangles and minimalist wristwatches.

Clean gently using a soft lint-free cloth and warm soapy water, avoiding harsh chemicals or ultrasonic cleaners that could strip the gold layer or loosen delicate clasp mechanisms.
