Antique 15ct Gold Curb Bracelet with Rare Heart Padlock Clasp

A beautifully made curb bracelet out of the butteriest 15ct gold. This bracelet will suit every stack, no matter what carat of gold you like to rock.
 
The bracelet links are hollow but crafted with thick 15ct gold with just the right amount of patina from its old age. The gold is very thick so will not dent or wear easily. The links are a beautiful buttery gold hue, towards a yellow tone but lovely and soft from its years of life. The padlock is an ever so slightly warmer hue. 
 
The heart padlock clasp is a rare thing, not only that it is made from scarce 15ct gold, but it has a unique locking mechanism operated by the side lever. It's an almost spring style locking mechanism on the side, obviously very clever as the padlock even has a stamp patenting it! It's super secure when it's closed and opens really smoothly. We love it and will struggle to find another. 
 
Condition: Great antique condition with light wear commensurate with age. The clasp is strong and secure with a few light surface scratches. There is a safety chain attached.
 
Hallmarks: Both end links stamped "15ct". Heart padlock stamped "15ct" and a 'PATD" mark for "Patented" to the side. The entire piece has been tested as 15ct.
