Ladifair Sweetheart Locket Bracelet, 1/20 12K Gold Filled
A love story with a hidden compartment.
This sweetheart bracelet is a striking example of WWII-era craftsmanship. Signed "Ladifair," this expansion-style bracelet features a heart center engraved with radiating sunburst lines around a diamond medallion, edged in fine scrollwork - and opens to reveal a small locket inside.
Sweetheart bracelets were originally given as tokens of love and devotion, designed to be worn close as a daily reminder of someone dear.
The ribbed expansion band, in 1/20 12K gold filled on sterling, wears comfortably and adjusts naturally to the wrist, making it effortless on its own or layered into your everyday stack.
Timeless in story, effortless in style.

Provenance:
Ladifair was a maker of sweetheart jewelry during the WWII era, producing expansion bracelets in 1/20 12K gold filled construction - a thicker, more durable gold layer than standard plating. Sweetheart bracelets like this one were given as tokens of love and connection during the war, and this example's working locket made it possible to carry a photograph of someone dear, close at hand.
