A richly layered vintage charm bracelet featuring fifteen fully functional gold filled lockets, each with its own distinct form, decoration, and period influence—an exceptional, curated collection spanning multiple design eras.
This substantial double curb link bracelet carries an impressive array of fifteen individual lockets, each thoughtfully varied in shape and surface detail. Forms include classic rounds, hearts, a rare book-form locket (with interior leaf), and geometric designs such as hexagonal forms, creating a dynamic and visually engaging composition.
The lockets reflect a blend of Victorian, Art Nouveau, Edwardian, and mid-century design language, brought together in a cohesive and wearable format. Decorative techniques include guilloché enamel, repoussé work, hand engraving, chasing, and inlaid materials such as mother of pearl. Several lockets are jeweled, including one set with a small natural diamond.
Each locket opens and closes properly, preserving their original function while adding an interactive, personal element to the piece. Two lockets retain engraved initials on the reverse, adding to the sense of history and individuality.
The bracelet itself is constructed as a tight double curb chain with textured links and polished connectors, offering both durability and a refined weight on the wrist. It closes securely with a box clasp and includes an attached safety chain.
