Fabulous vintage solid sterling silver ladies very attractive and highly unusual twist link five bar gate bracelet with love heart padlock. c~1968 (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 very respectable 23.1 grams. Beautiful, crisp, totally un-worn, bright Sterling silver gate links (measure 1.2cm width), five in total which have three fancy twist links to centre with smooth, highly polished, slightly convex bar links above and below - all reflect the light beautifully. Clearly hallmarked to one of the links (within square shaped, recessed cartouches) with the Lion Passant (Sterling silver), anchor (Birmingham assay) and capital letter T - dating her to 1968 and carries the makers initials to the top edge (again within recessed cartouches); HG&S. Three of the links are again clearly hallmarked with the Lion passant. Both of the robust (sealed) circular shaped end links are hallmarked to one side with the Lion passant. Good secure love heart padlock (measures 2.2cm x 1.6cm) 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 and capital letter; T - which shows it is original to the bracelet. Complete with her 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 (all links are good and tight with absolutely no wear or play) and just a few overall extremely light and fine little (absolutely micro) surface storage scratches (showing under eyeglass only) commensurate with age. Will arrive in a new pink velvet presentation pouch and be very securely and safely packed. ***WILL SHIP WORLDWIDE*** UK - FREE! ROYAL MAIL 1st CLASS SIGNED FOR DELIVERY
