Item Description
Italian 14K Yellow Gold Banana Bunch Charm Metal: 14K yellow gold
Maker: Unsigned; marked "K14 Italy"
Dimensions: 25 x 10mm; 1 1/8" drop
Weight: 3.1 grams
Circa: 1960s–1970s
Each banana in this Italian 14K gold charm is formed individually, ridged along its length and tapered to a point, then layered in tiers around a central stalk. The cut stem at the top is a realistic finishing detail that rewards a closer look.
The mark helps place it in time. It's stamped "K14 Italy" without the star registration mark and "585" fineness stamp that became standard under Italian hallmarking law after 1968. That points to the 1960s–1970s, the height of Italy's figural gold charm trade. The dimensional construction and bright polish reflect the better workshop output of that period.
A high polish catches light across every overlapping fruit, giving the small piece surprising depth. It has enough presence to wear alone on a chain and holds its own on a charm bracelet. Playful without tipping into novelty, it pairs wit with fine craftsmanship.
