Vintage English 9c Gold Heart Padlock Charm Bracelet

Jewelry : Vintage : 9c Gold : 9ct Gold : 9k Gold : 9kt Gold : Curb : Padlock : Rose Gold : Charm Bracelet

 

Beautiful English 9c curb link bracelet and padlock, perfect for show casing your Vintage English charms.

I don't think these 2 pieces originally went together as it appears the chain is a bit more rose gold and the padlock is definitely yellow gold. Both are hallmarked for 9c and the padlock has the makers mark, LC. I think it's hallmarked for the London Assay Office but it is really tiny. Each link of the bracelet is hallmarked.

Measures 7-1/2 inches with the padlock. Weighs approx 14 grams.

Most Vintage charm collectors like the patina to be undisturbed, this adds potentially higher value to some charms. Patina is not the same as tarnish... Patina is the soft glow caused by bits of tarnish settling into the natural minute scratches in Sterling Silver that occur overtime. A gentle sweep with a silver cloth will remove unattractive, superfluous tarnish yet leave the depth and dimension of the low areas - nooks & crannies - scratches - or what have you. Using a dip or scouring a charm will remove all of the good deposits of tarnish. Again, your choice by all means but a gentle hand is usually a safer bet when cleaning Vintage Sterling.

Rest assured, all charms at Evetta Hill are guaranteed Vintage and have not been altered in any manner! I do not sell reproduction charms ever - even if they were reproduced from an original Vintage mold. Charms like that are NEW even though they were designed using an old component.

Please note that my photos are highly enlarged and therefore magnify every nuance many of which are not visible to the naked eye.
