Antique curb link bracelets such as this one here have never gone out of fashion or style, and this one here is not only still in wonderful condition and has the engraved links on one side, but has a charming hand engraved padlock that shows a glimpse into its past.
Made in 9 carat rose gold, antique rose gold has that lovely warm colour to it that looks so beautiful against the skin making it perfect to wear day or night.
And with that term in mind, these antique bracelets with the engraving on one side and plain on the other are often called day and night bracelets.
From end to end the bracelet measures 19cm in length with the links measuring 1.3cm wide, and connecting it together is a gorgeous hand engraved padlock fitted with a safety chain for added security. And on the reverse of the padlock, it is engraved "MF 1914" which adds that personal element to the bracelet adding to its charm and character.
Literally perfect for night and day, this bracelet will always be the right piece to wear.

What is rose gold?
Gold is alloyed with other metals to both harden and sometimes alter the colour of the gold. Whereas pure gold is very bright yellow in colour, it is also quite soft and malleable. This makes it unsuitable for jewellery as it will often break or split. Other metals are added such as copper and silver to make it harder. not only will this make the gold jewellery more durable, it will also alter the colour. The yellow colour may "soften" in its tone, or adding copper can make it more of a warm rose colour.
