Finely proportioned and highly characterful, the piece combines traditional italian-inspired imagery with the playful quality associated with collectible vintage gold charms. ㅤ the pendant takes the form of the instantly recognisable chianti wine bottle, with its rounded body and elongated neck carefully recreated on a miniature scale. Despite its compact proportions, the design retains an impressive level of detail and a strong sculptural presence. ㅤ contrasting yellow and white gold elements provide subtle tonal variation across the bottle, enhancing the individual details and giving the miniature composition additional visual interest. ㅤ a suspension ring positioned at the top allows the piece to be worn from a necklace, charm bracelet or traditional fob chain. The ring is marked “18k” and “.750,” confirming the 18-carat gold fineness. ㅤ with a net gold weight of 2.8 grams, the charm has a pleasing substance while remaining sufficiently lightweight for comfortable wear. Its unusual wine-related subject also makes it particularly appealing to collectors of novelty jewellery and miniature gold objects. ㅤ the piece remains in very good vintage condition, displaying only minor surface marks consistent with age and use. It is free from notable damage or repairs and has no later engraved presentation inscriptions or monograms. ㅤ a delightful vintage gold jewel combining two-tone precious metal craftsmanship with the unmistakable form of a traditional chianti wine bottle.
