1930's Goldstone Lucky Bean Charm

1930's Goldstone Lucky Bean Charm

$550.00


Description

DATE: Art Deco, c.1930

An adorable antique charm dating from the 1930's. It's designed as a little lucky bean, perfectly formed from glistening goldstone (aka as aventurine). It features silver gilded fittings and makes a lovely addition to your collection. 

Lucky beans were popular throughout the Victorian and Edwardian eras, allegedly inspired by the "sea beans" that would occasionally wash up on European beaches after travelling on Ocean currents from far more exotic lands. The fact they could still germinate after (potentially) many years at sea suggested that they must be infused with powerful good luck.
