DATE: Victorian, c.1900

Stunning Victorian curb link bracelet with an exceptional black opal-set heart padlock clasp. The links alternate between plain and chased pairs, the latter featuring gorgeous floral detailing, and the clasp is unlike any I've seen before, with pavé opals at the centre and further chased detailing completing the High Victorian, highly ornate aesthetic. 9k rose gold throughout.
