Here's what's inside the fifth box of our 12 Days of Christmas (or Charm-mas if you will!) Advent Calendar...a vintage gold opening envelope charm complete with tiny gold letter inside! The charm is available at a special festive discounted price until we open box six at 6pm GMT 6th December 2024 too.
We couldn't help but think about writing letters to Santa as a child when we first saw this miniature gold envelope charm. It has lovely details and the flap actually opens to reveal a tiny rectangular piece of gold inside that's like a miniature letter. The piece of gold could be engraved with a special name, date or short phrase by a jeweller.
The charm is made of 9ct gold and is marked '9ct' inside. The gold letter inside isn't marked.
The charm weighs approx 1.7g and measures approx 11.8mm tall (not including the jump ring) by approx 12mm wide by approx 3.3mm deep.
Condition - The charm is in good vintage condition but does show signs of age and wear, including surface wear to both the gold envelope and letter. The charm closes very firmly and the letter inside is very snugly fitted. We had to use tweezers to remove it so it likely isn't something that could be removed often. The jump ring is currently pushed closed. Please see photos
*Please note the antique chain and box pictured are not included in the sale but the charm will be shipped in a new presentation box and pouch*
