VINTAGE 800 SILVER KÖLN TRAVEL SHIELD CHARM
Christine Alexander Fine Jewellery
Behold, my vintage-loving comrades, we've got a treat from Köln (Cologne), Germany – a charm so cool, it practically screams "I've been places, darling." It's not just any charm; it's a vintage Köln enamel wonder, signed 800 REU on the back, which in the language of Silver purity means 80% pure Silver. That's like, almost all Silver, but not quite – we like to keep things interesting.
Now, a little FYI: this charm is rebelliously missing a jump ring. Fear not, a new one can be added for a teeny tiny fee. But hold your soldering irons, because we're not risking the enamel – it's like charm surgery, and we're not playing doctor without consent. If you're craving a jump ring fix, hit me up, and we'll make it happen.
Oh, and let's get all educational for a minute – hallmark stamps are like the secret language of Silver. Sterling Silver flaunts a proud 925, signifying a minimum of 92.5% silver. Now, our charm, the 800 Silver, is a bit more mysterious – it could have a dash of nickel in the mix. Nickel-sensitive folks take note – we've got metals with secrets.
Speaking of secrets, vintage Silver and enamel travel shield charms are like the hipsters of the charm world – highly collectable and effortlessly cool. They're the kind of charms that have stories, and passports stamped with memories. From British Zodiacs to city collections, they've seen it all. And guess what? There's a whole universe of these babies out there – in souvenir shops, antique havens, and the vast internet. Start with a few that tickle your fancy, and let the charm party begin!
And if you're on the hunt for a specific shield to add to your collection, don't be shy – give me a shout. Charm collecting is not just a hobby; it's a lifestyle. Here's to vintage vibes and enamel adventures! 🌍💫 #VintageCharmAdventure #SilverSecrets #CharmCollectorChronicles
