Gate Bracelets were popular during the Victorian era and were designed and named after the fences and gates that surrounded country estates. They also have a romantic history. The gate bracelet was given to a woman by her lover when they were going to be separated for long periods of time. The heart shaped padlock was meant to be closed and then only opened once the lovers were reunited in each others arms. They were commonly given by soldiers to their sweethearts.
