We love searching for antique and vintage charms as you never quite know what you're going to find next! How sweet is this vintage sterling silver Noah's Ark charm!? Not only does it have lovely detailing throughout, with little silver animals poking their heads out through the windows but the charm also opens to reveal tiny animals inside too with sweet enamel detailing!
The charm is made of sterling silver, tested, the charm is marked 'SIL' to the bottom of the boat. The charm measures approx 10.8mm tall by 19mm long (not including the jump ring) by approx 8.5mm wide and weighs approx 2.9g.
Condition - The charm is in good vintage condition but does show some signs of age and wear including surface wear and tarnishing to the silver and some wear to the enamel too. the little elephant to one side that is poking out of one of the windows has a tiny amount of pink enamel to the top of its head. It's possible it was once fully highlighed with enamel, incluiding some of the other animals to the top of the ark, but the enamel is now worn away to show the silver underneath. The boat closes firmly with a click and the hinge still works well and is quite firm. 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.*
