Vintage 1950s 14K Articulating Couple In A Chapel Charm, Bride And Groom, Church, 2-25-56

About This Charm:

A treasured piece of mid-century romance, this 14K charm opens to unveil a bride and groom standing together inside a chapel. The hinged roof reveals the sweet scene within, suspended from a 14K jump ring. 

Condition:

This charm is in good vintage condition. The clasp underwent repair during its lifetime and leaves a small gap when closed. The roof functions beautifully, it closes securely and stays in place, though it has a slight wobble in the closed position and will only reopen when intentionally opened. The 14K stamp and inscription are faint due to age. The jump ring is a recent addition.
