On Lock | Sterling Heart Lock Bracelet (British, c. 1976)

$150.00

Solid links, a single clasp, and nothing left undecided.

This bracelet is built around intention. Articulated sterling links move with weight and rhythm, finishing in a heart-shaped lock that reads graphic rather than sentimental. The scale is balanced, the profile clean, and the closure does the talking. It wears with quiet authority on the wrist, deliberate in both form and function.

Crafted in solid sterling silver and fully hallmarked for London with a 1976 date letter, the piece reflects the late-modernist direction of British silver in the mid-1970s. The heart lock serves as both focal point and anchor, turning a familiar symbol into a structural element. It’s a design that values clarity over ornament, chosen for its decisiveness rather than decoration.
