Rare and highly collectable, we love this sweet little vintage gold bean charm! A symbol of luck, as well as rebirth and new beginnings, it is such an adorable petite size.
The charm is made of 9ct gold, the bean is hallmarked but these have almost worn away. The 9ct gold mark and Birmingham assay mark are just about legible. The date letter hallmark isn't very clear but could possibly be a 'K' for 1959.
The charm measures approx 16mm tall (not including the jump ring) by approx 6mm wide by approx 3.5mm deep and weighs approx 0.6g in total. The charm is hollow in the middle and has been made by joining two halves of the bean together so there is a faint seam line that runs around the sides.
Condition - The charm does show signs of age and wear, including surface wear to the gold to both sides. The jump ring is currently pushed closed and has an old dark solder mark to it. Please see photos.
*Please note the box and chain pictured are not included in the sale but the charm will be shipped in a new presentation box and pouch.*
