LARGE VINTAGE 9CT GOLD CHINESE JUNK BOAT CHARM

A vintage 9ct gold Chinese junk charm, London hallmarked 1962, and one with real weight and presence for its size.
The Chinese junk is a traditional symbol of wealth and safe travels — one of the most enduring motifs in charm collecting and one that carries genuine meaning for the person wearing it. The sails are ribbed and detailed, the hull cleanly rendered with deck detail, and the whole piece has that satisfying solidity that only comes from 4.8 grams of 9ct gold.
At 2.3 by 2.7cm it is a proper sized charm — not a dainty token but a piece that holds its own on any chain. Supplied with a new 9ct gold soldered jump ring.
