{"product_id":"vintage-9ct-rose-gold-hollow-curb-link-padlock-bracelet","title":"Vintage 9ct Rose Gold Hollow Curb Link Padlock Bracelet","description":"\u003cp\u003eCrafted in a warm, soft honey hue of 9ct rose gold, this 1920s vintage curb link bracelet is a beautiful example of classic early 20th-century elegance, with solid, rounded curb links flowing smoothly around the wrist. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt the centre, a traditional heart-shaped padlock clasp closes the bracelet, secured with a fine safety chain for added peace of mind. Historically, these heart padlock bracelets rose to popularity from the mid-to-late 19th century through the Edwardian era, typically gifted to women by a beloved before he travelled for an extended period, with the lock symbolising the promise \"you hold the key to my heart\" and its unlocking upon his safe return.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe bracelet's individually stamped links are a particularly sought-after feature among collectors, since UK hallmarking law required gold and silver pieces to carry purity marks, maker's marks, and sometimes date letters, meaning each stamp acts as a small certificate of authenticity confirming the metal content and origin of the piece. Given how rarely fine, continuous stamping across every link survives intact, this level of marking is a strong indicator of both quality and age.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCarrying the heritage of early 20th-century British jewellery design, this bracelet suits both eras of wear it has known: as a heartfelt token of devotion in its own time, and today as a striking statement piece worn alone or layered into a personal stack.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eWidth: 5.8mm\u003cbr\u003eLength: 19cm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThis is an estate item which comes with a one year guarantee\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vintage","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44617209348184,"sku":"011-02293","price":3291.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1319\/9109\/files\/011-02293_VINTAGE_SP.jpg?v=1787005630","url":"https:\/\/walkerandhall.com.au\/products\/vintage-9ct-rose-gold-hollow-curb-link-padlock-bracelet","provider":"Walker \u0026 Hall","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
