Vintage 9ct Gold Ship’s Wheel Charm (comes with FREE sterling silver chain)

£175.00

A wonderfully characterful vintage 9ct gold ship’s wheel charm, finely made and rich in maritime symbolism. The ship’s wheel has long been associated with guidance, direction, and safe passage - a powerful emblem of leadership and steady resolve, much favoured in mid-century novelty charms.

Crafted in solid 9ct gold, this charming piece is beautifully detailed and notably articulated, with the wheel designed to turn freely - a delightful and thoughtful touch that speaks to the quality of its manufacture. Compact yet pleasingly weighty, the charm displays excellent definition throughout, from the spoked wheel to the textured base beneath.

Equally suited to a charm bracelet with a nautical theme or worn alone on a fine chain as a symbol of direction and purpose, it is a piece that invites both admiration and interaction.

Details:
• Solid 9ct gold
• Vintage ship’s wheel charm
• Articulated – the wheel turns
• Weight: 2.4 grams
• Measures approximately 15 x 8.5 x 5mm
• Fully hallmarked for the Birmingham Assay Office
• Date letter: G
• Maker’s mark: RC&S
• Excellent vintage condition

A beautifully made and engaging charm, combining movement, meaning, and craftsmanship - a small but significant piece of maritime history, ready to be treasured once more.
