A 15ct gold acorn charm with the cap modelled in 15ct gold — the top detailed with the characteristic dotted texture of the acorn cup — while the nut itself is polished coral, warm and smooth. The combination of gold and coral gives the piece a two-material richness entirely characteristic of the finest Victorian charm work.
The acorn was a popular Victorian charm, carrying associations with strength, potential and growth — from small things, great things come. In coral and gold, the charm is both botanically precise and beautifully made.
Very good antique condition.
