Description

DATE: Vintage, c.1960

Cool vintage "chalet" charm, crafted in 18 karat gold and dating from the 1960s. The top is articulated, lifting up to reveal a couple in bed, carefully rendered in red white and blue enamel... interestingly, the man's face is damaged, and I can only assume it's been done deliberately - given the enamel is protected by the gold chalet top when worn. To remove one of the faces and nothing more would have taken a precise, sharp knock with the chalet lid open. Guess the owner's significant other must have done something worth ending the relationship for.
