Love to travel and see the world? Then this could be the perfect charm for you! This rare and highly collectable vintage charm has the sweetest, hand painted porcelain globe that actually turns with gold fittings.
The top and bottom fittings of the globe are made of gold, unhallmarked but tested as 9ct gold. The jump ring is a small split ring that also tests as 9ct. The globe itself is made of porcelain which has been hand painted. Without further hallmarks, it's hard to date exactly but we think it likely dates to around the 1950s.
The charm weighs approx 3.25g and measures approx 16mm tall (not including the split ring) by approx 11mm wide (The porcelain globe diameter).
Condition - The charm is in good vintage condition but does show signs of age and wear to the gold and the hand painted globe. The globe is overall good condition but there is wear in places and some of the detail has worn away, mainly towards the middle area.
*Please note the antique box and chain pictured are not included in the sale but the charm will be shipped in a new presentation box and pouch.*
