Condition

This piece has had a professional repair at some stage, with one end chain link soldered to one end ring closure. This is only noticeable upon close inspection, and does not affect usual wear.
Some fine marks, scratches and vintage patina may be present. The chain stamps show signs of rub wear, however, remain visible. The hallmarks to the heart lock remain crisp and clear.
