Antique, Victorian 9ct Gold Curb Link 'Night and Day' Bracelet (19.76g)

This stunning antique bracelet is crafted from 9ct Gold, and derives from the Victorian era. It features a beautifully chased (hollow) curb chain and an exquisitely engraved heart padlock, which is decorated with forget-me-not flowers on both sides, symbolising much romantic sentiment.

On one side of this classical curb bracelet, there are double sets of engraved links, (in the form of forget-me-not flowers) followed by one plain link, all the way round. On the other side, the hollow links are all plain. The Victorians called bracelets decorated like this "Night & Day” bracelets as they were reversible and could be worn with for night or daywear. The plain side was worn during the day and then it was turned over to its chased side for evening wear. The fashion for these bracelets has continued from Victorian times right through to the 21st Century where they remain a classic and iconic piece for many women today.

This bracelet remains in excellent antique condition. It does up securely and is protected more securely with the benefit of its safety chain.

Weight: This bracelet has a healthy weight of 19.76g, allowing it to move comfortably on the wrist, and it measures approximately 7.5 inches long and the curb, 1cm wide. It is marked for 9ct gold on the reverse of every link, and on its padlock. Its padlock also displays its makers mark: J.G.
