Beautiful antique 9 carat gold heart shaped clasp charm. The front of this heart is hand engraved in a symmetrical scrolling frond or foliate style design. The sides and back are shiny and unadorned, with the rather rare complete hallmarks we all love to find on jewellery! The back side features a coordinating style pattern with sets of ivy leaves accenting the left hand side.
A top loop clicks firmly into place, allowing this heart to be secured to an item. On the top is a smaller loop which can also be used, such as for attaching a safety chain if this is used as a bracelet clasp. This versatile piece which can be worn as a charm, clasp or pendant. Circa early 20th century, British in origin.
In excellent condition. The clasp is firm and tight. Where two hearts are shown together, this is the larger of the two. The other is available separately.
Stamped 9c, professionally tested and assessed as 9 carat gold. There is also a maker's mark of WHW Ld who might be William Wimot, though we've been unable to confirm this. The heart is made of antique gold and is between yellow and rose in colour as is typical for the era, though it's much closer to yellow in colour.
