This bracelet is exceptional in quality, an authentic, original 1940s piece, with nothing added or subtracted. It's increasingly hard to find bracelets from this period that haven't had later hearts added to them, and so this is a real prize. The centerpiece is a daisy enamel locket with a photo inside of Lucille, the best friend of the owner. There are 7 enamel hearts, including one guilloché, 1 rhinestone-set heart, a very desirable lion's head heart, and one additional enamel charm with a total of 20 charms. These are attached to a marvelous sterling silver book chain. All charms are marked sterling.
This bracelet was passed down to a family member who was able to include the history of this item and history of each of the names engraved on the back of each heart.
Hazel Latamier Yates (1919-2003) was the owner and her niece said this was a treasured item and these hearts were gifts through the year...

55 Sterling bracelet for holding puffy heart charms. Each link is shaped like a skeleton key to incorporate a 'key to my heart' theme. The keys have two holes in the handle so they can hold at least two charms each. Heart was added by seller.
