Miniature Gold Stein Charm

This item is a small, three-dimensional miniature stein charm, crafted from what appears to be yellow gold or gold-plated metal. Its estimated size is quite small, likely less than an inch in height, designed to be worn on a necklace or bracelet. The body of the stein is intricately detailed with raised, possibly cast, decorative motifs that resemble stylized fleur-de-lis or abstract Celtic knots, creating a textured surface. The charm features a hinged lid, suggesting it may be a locket-style charm, allowing for a small insertion within. A dark, possibly black, stone or enamel insert is visible at the bottom or base of the stein, adding a contrasting color element. At the top, a small jump ring is attached to a bail, indicating its function as a readily wearable charm. The metal exhibits a warm, golden luster, though some areas show slight darkening in the crevices, indicative of natural patina or minor tarnish from age and handling. There are no immediately obvious manufacturing marks or signatures visible from the provided image. The overall craftsmanship appears to be of good quality, with clear detailing on the decorative elements. The style suggests a vintage or antique origin, possibly mid-20th century, consistent with popular charm bracelet trends. The hinged lid is a unique feature that adds to its charm and potential collectibility.
