Antique Victorian chain bracelet. 18k gold. Made in France late 19th - early 20th century. Unisex - suitable for a man or a woman.
Measurements:
Weight is 6.4 grams. Approximately 7 inches (17.5cm) long.
Description :
Classic chain bracelet. Slightly oval links. Tongue in groove clasp with safety catch for additional security. A small gold heart charm has been added to one of the links but is probably not an integral/original part of the bracelet. The chain has a flexible and luxurious feel as is all good quality antique French jewelry. Lovely color to the gold - rich and interesting. The undulating links catch the light at different angles, resulting in some parts being very bright, while others are slightly in shadow. This adds another element of interest to catch the eye. Great French quality..
Marks and Metal:
2 French eagle head marks for 18k gold on the tongue of the clasp as well as the diamond-shaped lozenge for the maker.
Condition:
Good with negligible wear commensurate with age. The heart has a ding on one side. Please see enlarged pictures and don't hesitate to ask questions which we will do our best to answer.
THE STORY:
Wonderfully versatile. Perfect for wearing alone or with more bracelets stacked on the wrist. An excellent basis for a jewelry collection that can be worn by day, night, at home, to work or a party.
The heart charm with the ding on one side: New owner can keep or remove it. I think it is part of the charm to know that a previous owner wore and enjoyed the bracelet and in doing so, probably gave it a good knock in the process.
