We love the detailed that has gone into this vintage 1960s gold charm. The gold talon is grasping a garnet cabochon which is a beautiful deep red/dark pink shade. We can't help but think it has a slightly spooky vibe to it too, perfect for Halloween!
The charm is made of 9ct yellow gold with British hallmarks for 9ct gold, Birmingham. There is a date letter that looks to be 'P' for 1969 too.
There is such wonderful detailing to the talon throughout. The charm measures approx 21.5mm tall (not including the jump ring) by approx 11.7mm wide by approx 14.4mm deep and weighs approx 3.45g. The garnet cabochon measures approx 8.6mm wide by approx 10mm tall by approx 3.4mm deep.
Condition - The charm is in good vintage condition but does show some light signs of age and wear, including light surface wear to the gold and garnet. The garnet does have quite a large visible inclusion to the stone. 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.*
