Sterling Silver Padlock Link Bracelet / Italian Made Silver Heart Lock Bracelet / Patterned Link Bracelet

Padlock bracelets, especially those with heart-shaped padlocks, are currently experiencing a resurgence in popularity, drawing inspiration from their Victorian-era significance as symbols of love and commitment. These bracelets, historically exchanged between lovers and often featuring intricate designs, are now being embraced for their sentimental value and stylish aesthetic.

Padlock bracelets gained prominence during the Victorian era, particularly in the late 19th century, as romantic tokens between couples. This bracelet is such a symbol of love, commitment and would be a perfect gift for a special occasion.

This is a fantastic Italian made bracelet, and the links are strong and solid. The links alternate from a patterned link to a solid, smooth finish. But the showstopper is the filigree like heart padlock. Despite the lock's delicate look, it is strong and solid.

To add to the security of this bracelet it is linked to a strong security chain, which helps you when you want to put it on, or if in the unlikely occasion that the lock opens it will still be caught around your wrist.

The bracelet is very well hallmarked. On the latch of the lock it is marked "ITALY" and "925". On one of the links it tells more of a story. On that link it is marked HPJ / The lozenge hallmark next to it is harder to read however due to the lozenge shape it indicates that it was made from 1944 - 1968. You can see VT which indicates that the bracelet was made in the Italian province of Viterbo.

The bracelet measures 7 inches in length. When the bracelet is fully open with the security chain it measures 11inches in length.

What a romantic and sweet bracelet. This will easily become such an everyday staple that you will never want to take off.
