Fabulous Vintage solid Sterling silver Ladies very attractive traditional five bar gate bracelet with love heart padlock.
C~1985 (New old stock).
(Please excuse the reflections / dark shadows in the pictures - was extremely difficult to photograph).
Measures; 7" / 18cm total length and weighs a respectable 8.1 grams.
Beautiful, crisp, totally un-worn, bright Sterling silver gate links (measure 1.4cm width), five in total which alternate from fancy twist links to smooth, highly polished straight bar links - all reflect the light beautifully.
Clearly hallmarked in one place (within a square shaped recessed cartouche) with the Lion Passant - Sterling silver.
One of the robust (sealed) circular shaped end links is hallmarked to one side (within different shaped recessed cartouches) with the leopards head (London assay) and fancy capital letter; L - dating it to 1985.
Also stamped with the makers initials; Asj.
The opposite circular link is clearly hallmarked to one side with the Lion passant.
Good, firm secure love heart padlock which opens correctly, closing tightly with a very reassuring click (and is easy to operate) which is again hallmarked to the back (again within different shaped recessed cartouches) with the Lion Passant, Leopards head and fancy capital letter; L - dating it to 1985 (which shows it is original to the bracelet).
Also carries again the makers initials (within an oblong shaped recessed cartouche); Asj.
Complete with her original silver safety chain which is correctly threaded through the central ring of the padlock.
Beautifully made (all links are sealed) and very comfortable to wear.
Excellent, bright, clean new old stock condition with no wear or indentations and just few overall extremely light and fine little (absolutely micro) storage surface scratches (showing under eyeglass only) commensurate with age.
Will arrive in a new pink velvet presentation pouch and be very securely and safely packed.
