Birmingham 1901! Antique 15ct Yellow Gold Charm Bracelet
This bracelet was hallmarked in Birmingham in 1901 and was crafted by the renowned C.E. Williams. This outstanding piece is a true collector's treasure, combining substantial gold weight with exquisite hand-finished detail.
It weighs an impressive 18.8 grams and features beautifully proportioned 9mm curb links, each alternating between highly polished and intricately hand-engraved surfaces. The delicate floral scroll engraving catches the light beautifully, creating a wonderful contrast against the rich buttery tones of the polished 15ct Gold. This level of decorative workmanship is rarely seen in modern jewellery and is a testament to the exceptional standards of Edwardian goldsmithing.
The bracelet is completed by its original engraved heart-shaped padlock clasp, perfectly matched to the bracelet with ornate hand engraving to both sides, along with the original safety chain for added security. The padlock itself is a work of art, displaying crisp detailing and retaining the character that makes antique jewellery so desirable.
What makes this bracelet even more remarkable is its outstanding condition. Having survived well over 120 years, it remains in exceptional condition for its age, with beautifully defined engraving, excellent articulation throughout the links, and a luxurious feel that speaks volumes about the quality of its original manufacture. Finding an Edwardian bracelet of this calibre, complete with its original padlock and in such well-preserved condition, is becoming increasingly difficult.
Whether this bracelet is worn alone as a striking statement piece or layered with other antique gold jewellery, it offers timeless sophistication and undeniable rarity. It is equally suited to collectors seeking an investment-worthy antique or anyone looking for an heirloom-quality
