This French vintage lucky charm pendant dates to 1920 and takes the form of four fanned playing cards within an openwork frame.

The pendant also includes an attached suspension loop and jump ring at the top for connection to a chain. Measuring 1.7 cm high by 1.3 cm wide and 0.1 cm deep, the jewel functions as a wearable accessory intended for attachment to a necklace chain in contemporary personal wear.

FAQs

Charms featuring playing cards and the French word Reussite (meaning success or patience) gained popularity in early to mid-20th-century France as talismans for good fortune, wealth, and favorable outcomes in games and life.

French charms of this style were typically crafted from 18ct yellow gold to meet French legal fineness standards, often decorated with cold or kiln-fired vitreous enamel to create distinct coloured motifs.

Authentic French pieces feature official hallmarks struck into the gold, such as the eagles head stamp denoting 18ct gold, alongside makers marks enclosed within a diamond-shaped frame.

Small motif charms can be worn individually on a fine gold neck chain, layered alongside other vintage pendants, or secured onto a traditional chain charm bracelet.

Clean gently using lukewarm water, mild soap, and a soft-bristled brush, avoiding ultrasonic cleaners and harsh chemicals that could damage or craze the surface enamel.
