About the Item

This enchanting antique French charm, dating to circa 1900, showcases a whimsical leaping pig—long associated with prosperity and good fortune—beautifully rendered in solid 18 karat gold with delicate platinum accents. The pig's eyes are set with vibrant rubies, and a luminous pearl, adding both texture and elegance to this charming composition. Measuring approximately 1 inch from the top of the jump ring to the bottom and 0.6 inches wide, the piece is finely scaled and weighs 2.78 grams. It remains in excellent antique condition, with crisp details and minimal surface wear. The gold content has been professionally verified using both acid testing and X-ray fluorescence (XRF) analysis, confirming its composition as solid 18K gold. The platinum elements have also been tested to ensure authenticity, consistent with the exceptional standards of early 20th-century French craftsmanship. A rare find with playful character and refined materials, this charm is a delightful addition to any sophisticated collector’s jewelry wardrobe.
