Gennie Gold and Sterling Curb Bracelet

The History:

This late Victorian curb chain bracelet features substantial sterling silver links accented by a central section of semi-solid 14k yellow gold links. The alternating metals create a distinctive contrast, while the closely interlocking links give the bracelet its substantial weight and traditional curb chain construction. The silver bears English lion passant hallmarks, indicating sterling silver assayed in England, with the bracelet clasping with a solid 9k gold swivel clasp.

During the Victorian period, heavy curb chains were commonly used for pocket watches, with substantial links and swivel fastenings designed for both durability and function. As jewelry styles evolved, these chains were also adapted for wear as bracelets, reflecting the continued popularity of substantial chain designs.

This piece was originally made and sourced in England. This bracelet measures 8" in length.
