Day and Night with Heart Padlock Clasp
SKU:BRA1033
Superb antique ‘Night and Day’ bracelet crafted in lush 9ct rose gold with ‘bloomed’ chased links which give a yellow high carat appearance. On one side of this bracelet, there are alternating engraved and plain links all the way round. On the other side, the hollow links are all plain. The Victorians called bracelets decorated like this "Night & Day” bracelets as they were reversible and could be worn with for night or daywear. The plain side was worn during the day and then it was turned over to its chased side for evening wear. Heart padlocks, such as the one adorning this bracelet, were often bestowed by Victorian gentlemen upon their beloved during prolonged separations, symbolizing their enduring love and unwavering commitment. They served as a poignant reminder that although physically apart, their hearts remained intertwined.
