Vintage Puffy Heart Charm ~ Pink Stone Engraved Rosie

Jewelry : Vintage : Sterling Silver : Charms : Hearts : Stone Setting : Engraving : Pink : Rose

 

A super chubby heart, I love the fact this beauty sports a rose colored stone and is also engraved Rosie. Coordination effort gets two thumbs ups from me! The rose/pink colored stone appears to have an aurora borealis finish or coating also known as AB. With spectacular light reflecting properties this stone is a super focal point.

In addition it is romantically engraved Rosie on the back with an added flourish under the name. Engraving adds extra collectibility to hearts and typically will increase the value.

An authentic Vintage 1940's piece in pristine condition complete with a nice heavy patina, the back is also stamped Sterling.

Measures 3/4 by 9/16 inches. Depth is 3/8 inches - the majority of hearts are typically around 1/8 inches. This size works great as a necklace piece also!

Most Vintage charm collectors like the patina to be undisturbed, this adds potentially higher value to some charms. Patina is not the same as tarnish... Patina is the soft glow caused by bits of tarnish settling into the natural minute scratches in Sterling Silver that occur overtime. A gentle sweep with a silver cloth will remove unattractive, superfluous tarnish yet leave the depth and dimension of the low areas - nooks & crannies - scratches - or what have you. Using a dip or scouring a charm will remove all of the good deposits of tarnish. Again, your choice by all means but a gentle hand is usually a safer bet when cleaning Vintage Sterling.

Rest assured, all charms at Evetta Hill are guaranteed Vintage and have not been altered in any manner! I do not sell reproduction charms ever - even if they were reproduced from an original Vintage mold. Charms like that are NEW even though they were designed using an old component.

Please note that my photos are highly enlarged and therefore magnify every nuance many of which are not visible to the naked eye.
