An adorable 1930s charm, modeled as a single engine airplane, in 14k yellow gold, by the Newark jewelers Sloan & Co. This lovely miniature plane is highly detailed, with small, open widows, little wheels, and a piston style nose. We think it'sa nice reminder of times long ago, when we used to travel to distant lands . . . or else it’s about our current, imaginary journeys! We love this sweet old flyerfor its soft, buttery finish and lovely form. We thinkit looks best worn alone, on a slender chain, but it would also make a wonderful addition to a charm bracelet.Marked 14k for purity, and with the Sloan & Co. lyre.
