Vintage Charms News
Posted by: | CommentsThe latest Vintage Charm news from AntiquesAvenue. I’ve been adding lots of fresh vintage charms to my website over the past few days especially some interesting vintage silver charms including opening charms and some quality Nuvo silver charms. Here are a few of the best :
Opening egg charm
I love this vintage charm, In the shape of an egg, this vintage charm is made of silver and there is a bow decoration on the front. Open up the egg and inside is a tiny bird sitting on her nest of eggs. This is a very well made vintage charm and quite unusual. This charm measures about 2 cms long.
Inside the charm
Have you seen a charm quite like this one before? I haven’t. What an eggcellent gift it would make .
If you like charms which open and has a cute surprise inside I am also offering an acorn with a squirrel inside, a mushroom with a pixie and a Doctors bag which opens to reveal a baby inside.
Building Charms.
Charms in the shapes of buildings are always fun especially when we can name the building or monument. Just added into the shop are St Pauls Cathedral and the Blackpool Tower. If you are interested in building charms I also have a few churches, a water wheel and some cute windmill charms.
I’ve also been adding to my range of Nuvo silver charms which now include, moving piano player, man in bottle, opening Bible with Angel, Dog chasing cat up lamp and an opening moped helmet. Take a look there are quite a few more rare Nuvo silver charms available . Also I have a specialist area devoted to Chim Charms which whilst possibly less sought after than Nuvo charms are of excellent quality.

Vintage silver charms set with crystals

- crystal set chick in nest charm
Recently I have aquired and interesting selection of silver charms which are set with coloured and faceted glass crystals. These charms on the larger side and so make a bright and colourful addition to any collection of vintage charms. Imagine a charm bracelet full of these – it would just burst with colour and would certainly be a statement or signature piece of jewelry.
Some of these charms are made by Nuvo charms who are generally acknowledged to be the best English cahrm maker from the 1960s / 1970s. Others are unmarked but due to their high quality may also be Nuvo or possible Chim charms.
The range includes the more usual tea and coffee pots but also some more unusual shapes notably:a table lamp with a crinoline lady, a fat man driving a bi-plane, a dog chasing a cat up a lamp post and Atlas with the world on his shoulders.
Please do contact me if you have any unusual vintage crystal set silver charms. I can add them here if you send me a photograph in .jpg format.
