Antique 9ct Gold Turquois and Pearl Bracelet with Heart Locket Clasp
This exquisite antique bracelet is a stunning example of Victorian craftsmanship, created by the renowned British jeweller Gordel, Vales & Co. Crafted in 9ct gold, the bracelet showcases alternating links adorned with vibrant turquoise cabochons and lustrous seed pearls, evoking a delicate balance between luxury and understated elegance. Each open link is gracefully designed to emphasize the fine detail and expert craftsmanship, while the turquoise stones symbolise protection and wisdom, paired with pearls, which have long been associated with purity and serenity.
The bracelet is completed with a classic heart-shaped padlock clasp, a hallmark of Victorian jewellery design. The clasp is both functional and decorative, symbolising love and security. On the reverse of the padlock, the hallmark and maker’s mark for Gordel, Vales & Co. is clearly stamped, testifying to its authenticity and heritage.
Gordel, Vales & Co., established in the late 19th century, was known for its finely detailed jewellery, often working with high-quality gemstones and intricate gold designs. Their pieces are highly collectible and have become increasingly rare on the market, making this bracelet a true investment piece. The quality and craftsmanship, combined with the use of precious materials and the reputable maker, ensure this piece will be cherished for generations.
