About the Item

A striking vintage Sputnik charm pendant, crafted in 18 karat yellow gold. This spherical pendant is adorned with multiple bezel-set colored stones, creating a playful yet elegant design that captures the fascination with modernism and the space age. The “Sputnik” style of jewelry became popular in the late 1950s and 1960s, named after the Soviet satellite launched in 1957. Its spherical form with radiating stones reflected the era’s excitement about space exploration, scientific progress, and futuristic design. Jewelry houses across Europe and the United States embraced the motif, producing bold, colorful pieces that remain highly collectible today. Charms are more than adornments , they are wearable memories with symbolic and often sentimental value. This beautifully detailed, three-dimensional 18 karat gold charm can be worn as a pendant on a necklace, added to a charm bracelet, or layered with other jewels to create a personal and eclectic look. Material: 18 karat yellow gold Gemstones: Multiple colored stones Period: 1960s–1970s Dimensions: 2.0 x 2.0 cm (excluding bail) Condition: Very good vintage condition; gently worn with minimal signs of age Most of our charms are fitted with an open jump ring, allowing them to be easily attached to a bracelet or chain.

A fine example of mid-20th century design, it offers both historic interest and timeless wearability, a wonderful find for collectors of space-age jewelry and vintage gold charms.
