Pinstripe Ladybug : Vintage Enamel Ladybug Charm in 14ct Gold

♥Sold♥

A darling little vintage ladybug with exquisite detailing in 14ct yellow gold.

The wings of this charming friend have been sensitively guillouche enamelled in a translucent deep red – revealing engine-turned stripes beneath the surface. Three delicate opaque black spots decorate each wing. The wee face is in opaque black enamel with two tiny golden eyes. Six tiny bug feet, like little buds, can be found along the body. There are even two teeny tiny mandibles! It’s perfectly proportioned and exquisite in every way.

In excellent vintage condition – very gentle wear to the enamel only visible under magnification in keeping with its age (estimated circa 1930 – 1950). No chips or discoloured areas. No damage or repairs evident.
Hallmarked 14ct on the bail, which appears to be original to the piece.

A delightful little friend that will look stunning worn a simple gold chain at your neck, or add it to you charm bracelet for a little pop of red.

Measures 12 x 8.4 x 3mm, not including the bail. Weighs .6grams
