Victorian 15k Gold Lucky Bean Charm

$950.00

Description

DATE: Victorian, c.1890

A cool Victorian Lucky Bean charm dating from the late Victorian period, circa 1890. It's crafted in 15 karat gold and remains in excellent condition.

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.
