Vintage 9ct gold jewellery is made with traditional techniques, hand-finished details, and authentic British hallmarks from earlier eras. These pieces feel more unique and characterful than modern, mass-produced gold.

Genuine vintage 9ct gold jewellery charms usually features traditional British hallmarks, maker’s marks, and natural signs of age such as soft patina or light wear. Reputable sellers verify authenticity before listing.

Look for:
- Official hallmarks (e.g., “375” for 9ct gold)
- Assay office symbols - Maker’s marks or date letters
- Age-appropriate wear and patina
