Sterling Silver and Garnet Heart Toggle Bracelet with Key Charm

This jewelry item is a vintage-style charm bracelet featuring a sterling silver rollo or belcher chain. The bracelet is secured by an ornate toggle clasp system where one end terminates in a detailed miniature key charm that serves as the 'T' bar, and the other end features a large circular O-ring. Suspended from the O-ring is a decorative heart-shaped pendant. This pendant is crafted with a filigree or rope-twist border and set with a deep red, heart-cut gemstone, likely a garnet or high-quality glass. The metal exhibits a distinct aged patina with significant tarnish and oxidation, particularly in the recessed areas of the chain links and the intricate metalwork of the heart and key. This oxidation suggests the piece is made of sterling silver, though hallmarks are not clearly visible in the provided image. The construction shows a blend of romanticism and Victorian revival aesthetics, common in the late 20th century. The overall condition appears used but intact, with no visible missing stones or broken links, though it would require professional cleaning to restore its original luster. The craftsmanship is detailed, especially in the bifurcated crown of the key and the open-work framing of the central gemstone.
