Antique Double-Strand Paperclip and Lovers Knot (7")

This is one of those bracelets that genuinely delights the moment it’s in your hand. The weight, the colour, the construction. It all just HITS. It feels solid and really, really well made, with that satisfying heft that only really good antique gold has.

The gold itself is gorgeous. Bright and luminous without tipping into brassy yellow, with soft rosy and peachy undertones that give it a really flattering, tonal warmth. It adds instant depth to a stack without muddying it up at all. If you’ve ever found antique 9ct a bit dull, this one will change your mind. It is crazy bright.

Construction wise, this is next level. The bracelet is made up of faceted lover’s knot links paired with elongated paperclip links, which gives it a really pleasing contrast. There’s something quite modern and architectural about it, balanced by all that antique charm. It’s a double strand bracelet, with two linked runs working together, so you get loads of texture, movement and visual volume. Bold, tactile, and very stack-forward.

And then there’s the clasp. A proper antique bolt ring, chunky, beautifully proportioned, and an absolute little work of art in its own right. It’s original to the piece, matches the gold perfectly, and is well sprung and secure. No flimsy nonsense here.

Fit wise, this is a dream if you’re fed up of bracelets being too long. End to end it measures 7 inches, but because of the construction it sits best on a 6 to 6.5 inch wrist. Secure, comfortable, and not sliding halfway down your hand. Goldilocks sizing, honestly.

If you’re feeling creative, it would also make a brilliant connector piece. Add it into a bracelet stack, clip it onto a chain, or use it to introduce texture and contrast alongside other links. It’s one of those pieces that invites a bit of play.

A seriously special bracelet, beautifully made, incredibly flattering, and full of character.
