Antique, Victorian 9ct Gold Curb Link 'Night and Day' Bracelet (20.17g)

This is an extremely beautiful Victorian 9ct yellow gold curb bracelet with an exquisitly decorated heart padlock (decorated with ivy leaves, which represent the romantic phrase 'cling to thee'), and its own safety chain.

On one side of this classical curb bracelet, there are alternating engraved and plain links 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 with only age-related wear, at the as would be expected with a bracelet of this age.   

Weight: This bracelet has a healthy weight of 21.17g, allowing it to move comfortably on the wrist, and it measures approximately 7 inches long.  It is marked for 9ct gold on the reverse of every link, and on its padlock.
