Bees carry such a lot of symbolism; including fertility, focus, industry and persistence to name just a few things! This beehive charm could also be a sweet gift for your honey!
The charm is not only lovely to look at from the outside, but it also opens up to reveal a tiny gold bee inside too.
The charm is made of 9ct gold and has British hallmarks to the bottom for the maker 'SP', 9ct gold, Birmingham and the date letter 'O' for 1963.
The charm measures approx 15mm tall (not including the jump ring) by approx 13.2mm wide by approx 15mm deep and weighs approx 3.9g.
Condition - The charm is in good vintage condition with some light surface wear and patina to the gold throughout. The hinge mechanism still works well and the charm closes with a click. The base section does move side to side slightly 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.*
