If Autumn is your favourite season, then this vintage gold acorn charm could be the perfect piece for you! We love how it instantly makes us think of the changing leaves and finding acorns and chesnuts on cosy walks, all wrapped up. We think the charm also beautifully symbolises the proverb 'mighty oaks from little acorns grow'. Symbolising potential and growth, this charm would make a really lovely symbolic piece if you're perhaps starting a new chapter in your life.
The charm is made of 9ct gold and has British hallmarks to one side for the maker 'WHC', 9ct gold, Birmingham and the date letter 'B' for 1951. The hallmarks are now a little rubbed and worn away in places.
The charm has beautiful detailing and is hollow in the centre, weighing approx 0.8g. There are two small airholes to the side the hallmarks are on from when the charm was made.
The charm measures approx 17.4mm tall (not including the jump ring) by approx 10.6mm wide by approx 10.4mm deep. As the charm is hollow in the middle it is made with two halves, joined with a slight seam.
Condition - The charm is in good vintage condition with some light signs of age and wear including some light surface wear to the gold and some very small, faint indents in places. The jump ring is currently pushed closed. As mentioned above, the hallmarks are now a little rubbed and worn away in places. Please see photos.
*Please note the antique box and chain pictured are not included in the sale but the charm will be shipped in a new presentation box and pouch.*
