Bees carry such a lot of symbolism; including fertility, focus, industry and persistence to name just a few things! This vintage gold honey pot charm is such a fun and collectable charm. Not only is it incredibly detailed, right down to the detail on the honey pot, but the little bee at the top actually moves when the bottom of the pot is twisted!
The charm is made of 9ct yellow gold and has British hallmarks for 9ct gold, London and the date letter 'r' for 1972. There is also a faint maker's mark but it's hard to read clearly.
The charm measures approx 22mm tall by approx 10mm wide (not including the jump ring) by approx 10.3mm deep and weighs approx 2.75g.
Condition - The charm is in good vintage condition but does show some signs of age and wear, including some light surface wear to the gold. The bee movement is quite stiff and needs to be turned with a little force to move. 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.*
