A beautifully characterful 9ct gold horse charm, crafted in Britain circa 1940. Solid yet delicately formed, the horse measures 1cm tall by 1.9cm long and weighs 1.48 grams. A lovely, wearable scale that feels considered rather than showy.
The charm bears the pre-1950s 9ct gold hallmark, a detail collectors love and one that instantly places it within an earlier era of British goldsmithing. Pieces from this period were made to last, with careful attention to form and balance, and you can feel that craftsmanship here. The horse’s shape has a gentle, almost storybook quality. Full of movement and personality without being overworked.
Horse charms have long symbolised strength, freedom, loyalty and protection, making this not just a decorative piece, but one imbued with meaning. Whether worn as a personal talisman, added to a charm bracelet, or layered onto a fine gold chain, it carries both emotional and historical weight.
Authentic 1940s British gold which is increasingly hard to find in original condition. The pre-1950s hallmark is a reassuring marker of age, quality and collectability
This is the kind of charm that feels personal the moment you hold it. It is quietly luxurious, gently nostalgic, and impossible to replicate with modern mass-produced jewellery. A true little survivor of British history, ready for its next chapter.
