As regular readers know I am fascinated by vintage silver charms and charms bracelets especially english charms including antique victorian charms and silver charms from the 1960s and 1970s.

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.
