Overview:
Finely detailed vintage mid century carriage charm crafted in 19k yellow gold (circa 1980s to 1960s).
Crafted in Portuguese 19k yellow gold, the beautiful storybook carriage is wonderfully detailed and one of the best we've come across! The wheels move in 360 degree motion and symbolize many of life's big moments. The charm is larger in scale at 1 inch and is great worn on a chain as a pendant or as a charm on a bracelet.
The charm is in very good condition and was lightly cleaned and polished.
The piece was acquired on a recent trip to Portugal, one of Europe's most exciting destinations for discovering exceptional antique and vintage jewelry. Portugal's thriving antiques community, historic markets, and renowned art and antiques fairs provided access to remarkable jewelry with provenance, exceptional beauty and character. Each piece was carefully selected for craftsmanship, originality and history. I am delighted to share these newly acquired pieces. Please shop our site to view the entire collection.
