A beautifully detailed vintage mechanical charm crafted in 18K yellow gold and modeled after a traditional jambiya, the distinctive curved dagger historically associated with the Arabian Peninsula.
The removable dagger features a broad, dramatically curved blade and a flared handle accented with engraved geometric details. It slides neatly into an elaborate fitted scabbard, transforming the piece from an open dagger into a compact, highly decorative charm.
The scabbard is especially lovely, with intricate openwork and applied wirework creating scrolling and floral patterns across its surface. Rope-like detailing follows the curved end, while additional geometric borders frame the design. A fine gold safety chain permanently connects the dagger and scabbard so the two pieces remain together when the dagger is removed.
The reverse is stamped 18K along with an additional maker's mark.
