lGate bracelets were popular during the Victorian era (1837-1901) and are named for their design of interlocking chain links resembling the gates and fences of English country estates. These gold or silver bracelets often featured a heart-shaped padlock clasp, symbolizing commitment and fidelity, with the key sometimes kept by the giver as a sign of trust and a promise of return. The design reflects Victorian romanticism and was a common gift between lovers, especially when a loved one was separated for long periods, su ch as soldiers going to war.Up for your consideration is a very fine 9k Rose
