A vintage pair of 9 carat yellow gold opera glasses charm. This charm is a minature copy of the galilean glasses originally used by ladies at performance events, whose name is derived from traditional use of binoculars at opera performances.

It has beautiful foliate detailing with tiny details such as a teeny tiny focusing thumbwheel and adjusting hinges that are all immaculately intact. A true rare find that I know will be snapped up!

MEASUREMENTS: 

These minature binoculars measure 1.21cm wide and 8.1mm in depth. 

Weight: 0.72 grams.

MATERIALS: Solid 9ct Yellow Gold 

HALLMARKS: These lovely binoculars bear full British hallmarks indicating that they're British made in the year 1971. They were hallmarked at the Birmingham Assay Office and were made by M.W.J, originally registered to W J Johnston, but later became registered to William Jackson Johnston and William Harold Johnston, trading as W H Johnston & Sons.

Condition EXCELLENT:  The charm is excellent condition and of extreme high quality. The gold is polished and the details are immaculate.

  • Is this item real Gold?

    All my jewellery is real Gold. I sell mainly 9ct Gold; but also 14ct, 18ct and even 22ct!

    • GOLD: It is a precious metal that is found in a solid and pure state both in the earth's crust and in the seabed and riverbeds. It has been the most widely used metal since ancient times, especially in crafts, for more than 5,000 years.

  • Gift Wrapping

    I offer gift boxing and wrapping at checkout too. Whether the gift is for a wedding, birthday or Christmas I take a lot of pleasure in making your gift look beautiful. I offer a premium upgrade for gift wrapping where your jewellery will arrive in a beautiful coloured travel jewellery case or velvet box, wrapped up in premium acid-free paper with a bow and handwritten card.
