Vintage Gold-Tone Double Heart Identification Bracelet

This is a vintage gold-tone fashion bracelet featuring a central identification plate designed as two overlapping hearts. The hearts are embellished with floral scrollwork engraving at the borders and an arrow piercing both, symbolizing romantic love. A curved banner or ribbon overlay spans the center, intended for custom engraving, though it appears blank or worn in the image. The bracelet is constructed with a wide, decorative chain consisting of alternating round rings and rectangular links with parallel vertical ribbing. Physically, the item exhibits a muted gold or brassy coloration consistent with gold plating or a base metal alloy like brass. Regarding condition, there is significant evidence of age and use; the gold-tone finish is heavily worn, revealing a darker base metal underneath in several areas, particularly on the link edges and the clasp. The clasp itself is a simple fold-over style, showing notable plating loss. No specific maker's marks are visible on the front, suggesting a mid-20th-century mass-produced costume piece, likely from the 1940s or 1950s when sentimental 'sweetheart' jewelry was popular. Despite having been cleaned, deep-seated patina remains in the recessed areas of the design, which provides some contrast but indicates a history of heavy oxidation.
