Georgian, C1820
An exquisite antique English charm hanger from circa 1820, crafted from solid 18-carat gold. This unique piece is shaped like a hand and features a pressed star link connector and an intricately applied ivy leaf on the palm. It also includes a hinged and threaded dog clip fastener, making it perfect for hanging your charm collection.
In jewellery, a hand symbol often represents protection, care, and guidance. It can also signify friendship, love, and fidelity. The ivy leaf is a symbol of eternity, fidelity, and strong affectionate attachment. In the Victorian era, ivy was commonly used in jewellery to represent these qualities. Stars often symbolize hope, guidance, and the divine. This piece hails from early 19th-century England, a time when symbolic and sentimental jewellery was highly popular. The craftsmanship reflects the high standards of the era, making it a piece rich with historical value and cultural significance.
Antique charm hangers with intricate details, like this one, are pretty rare and highly sought after by collectors. The combination of the hand shape, ivy leaf, and quality makes this piece unique and rather scarce. Detailed and well-preserved charm hangers from the early 1800s are hard to come by, making this a prized addition to any collection.
