Carry a little romance from the 1920s with this exquisite La Mode guilloché enamel heart locket expansion bracelet. A true sweetheart era treasure, this bracelet features a scalloped heart centerpiece with hand-painted floral enamel atop a guilloché engine-turned background. The heart opens at the top to reveal a locket compartment, perfect for a tiny keepsake or photograph.
Crafted in the early Art Deco period, the bracelet has an expandable band composed of curved, gold-filled links over sterling silver. The natural patina speaks to its century-old character, and the few lightly polished links show how beautifully it can gleam if desired. The interior is signed La Mode and 12K GF, confirming its early production and quality.
Warm, nostalgic, and rich with sentiment, this is a lovely antique bracelet for collectors, heirloom jewelry lovers, or anyone who appreciates jewelry with a story.
