A substantial antique gold filled curb bracelet with a working heart padlock and matching key. Raised scroll borders frame the heart’s polished face and central keyhole, while the reverse carries the hand-engraved initials “M.W.C.” and date “1902.”
The rounded curb links give the bracelet a pleasing weight and presence. Its working key is attached by a fine chain, keeping the two together. The heart snaps shut to lock and opens with the key.
Condition: Excellent antique condition. The padlock and matching key are fully functional.
Opening instructions: Always use the key to unlock the heart. Do not pull or force the shackle open, as this can damage the mechanism.
