This vintage gold opening egg charm is just so sweet. Not only is the egg beautifully decorated to the outisde and even has a bow, but it also opens to reveal a little chick inside decorated with enamel too!
The charm is made of 9ct gold and has British hallmarks for the maker 9ct gold, London and what looks to be the date letter 'd' for 1959.
The charm measures approx 12.6mm tall (not including the jump ring) by approx 9mm wide by approx 10.7mm deep and weighs approx 2.95g in total.
Condition - The charm is in good vintage condition but does show some signs of age and wear. There is some light surface wear to the gold and the enamel has worn away in places on the chick so the gold is showing underneath. The hinge mechanism works well and the charm clicks closed to stay closed when worn but the two halves of the egg do come apart a little when closed. The jump ring is currently pushed closed. 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.*
