Vintage 9 carat yellow gold ingot charm dating to the late 1970s. I love these charms! I found a couple with my own birth year that I wear on my charm hook and I'm thrilled to find a couple more. This one is rectangular in shape and flat. At a bit under inch long, it's a good size for a pendant. The front has large, bold hallmarks and the back is plain and shiny.

Know of someone born in 1978 or who celebrated another special occasion then? This might just make the perfect gift and can be supplied on a modern 9 carat yellow gold trace chain if required.

Fully hallmarked down the front for 9 carat gold, London assay office, date letter for 1978.

Measures approx 2.25 cm / 0.90 inches long not including the bail by 5.9 mm / 0.23 inches wide and 1.2 mm deep.

Weighs 1.6 grams.
