A solid sterling silver curb link heart locket bracelet. This is a stunning and rare, early twentieth century bracelet with its origins dating back to Victorian period when these types of bracelets were very popular. This is what some describe as "puffy" open linked bracelet. These are oversized and solid curb links that have since been taken on by a number of contemporary fashion designers to ever greater proportions. But, at this time in the late ninetieth and early twentieth century, this size was quite oversized to what had gone before. Closing these dramatic and beautiful soft round links is an unusual hook clasp. Overall, a really lovely, high quality silver bracelet. They are rare to find, and in this condition, even more so.There are no makers mark, however it is stamped "sterling' on the top of the clasp. The bracelet measures a generous eight inches in length. The clasp is made secure by having a small flattened area on the end link where the clasp can only pass over. Being the links are solid, the bracelet has a great weight, and feels wonderful on the wrist. Made in America, circa 1940's.
