We love playing card games and this sweet vintage gold charm encapsulates so much of that fun. Not only that, but the charm holds a miniature deck of paper cards inside that can actually be removed!

 

Made of a 9ct gold case, two sides have an open space to show the deck of cards inside. Another of the sides also has some beautiful detail showing a hand holding four cards, one from each suite. This side is hinged too and actually opens to reveal the deck of cards whcih can be removed.

 

The charm is made of 9ct yellow gold and has British hallmarks to one side for the maker 'GJLD'. There looks to be a 9ct gold hallmark below this but it is almost completely worn away now. There also would have been an assay and date hallmark which would have dated the charm to the exact year but these have now completely worn away. We think given its style and others similar that we've found before, it's likely circa 1960s/70s in age.

 

The charm measures approx 13.3mm tall (not including the jump ring) by approx 10mm wide by approx 9.4mm deep and weighs approx 2.3g in total.

 

Condition - The charm is in good vintage condition with some signs of age and wear. There is some surface wear to the gold and the paper cards inside have aged and are worn. As mentioned above, some of the hallmarks still visible are very worn and others have now been completely worn away. We haven't checked that every single card is included inside so this may not be a complete deck, some of the cards are a little stuck together and hard to separate so we’ve left them as they are. The hinge mechanism works well and the door closes firmly to stay closed when worn. The jump ring is currently pushed closed. Due to the paper cards inside, this charm cannot come into contact with liquids as it will damage the paper cards inside. Please see photos.

 

*Please note the chain and box pictured are not included in the sale but the charm will be shipped in a new presentation box and pouch*
