Impeccably sourced, rare vintage jewelry
movable pyramid abacus 14k gold charm
The Story
A special charm with movement and color, this vintage abacus is made from a 14 karat yellow gold frame with 15 colorful, plastic beads. The beads move on the wires, so it works as a real counting machine.
Abaci are so old, historians don't know exactly when or where they were first invented. This one, from the mid 20th century, is a miniature and wearable version of ancient technology, how amazing is that?!
A cool and colorful charm to add to your charm bracelet, wear as a necklace, earring, or stacked with your favorite pieces.
