A wonderfully whimsical vintage penny-farthing bicycle charm crafted in 14K yellow gold, complete with moving wheels.
The miniature bicycle recreates the unmistakable silhouette of a penny-farthing, with its dramatically oversized front wheel and petite rear wheel. Both its open construction and delicate gold framework give the charm an airy appearance, while the articulated wheel adds the playful movement that makes vintage mechanical charms so much fun to collect.
Penny-farthings became one of the most recognizable symbols of early cycling during the late 19th century, when their enormous front wheels made them both revolutionary and rather daring machines. This later vintage gold interpretation captures that wonderfully eccentric piece of cycling history in miniature.
Measuring approximately 20 mm, this petite mechanical charm would make a delightful addition to a vintage charm bracelet or a wonderfully unusual pendant for a cyclist, bicycle enthusiast, or collector of mechanical gold charms.
