14 Karat Yellow Gold "Poke" Charm
679-00009
This cute vintage charm is made of 14 karat yellow gold with a clear window holding free floating raw 24 karat gold nuggets. Back in the days of the gold rush, prospectors 'poked' around in the dirt while wearing a leather bag around their necks known as a 'poke'. A poke was filled with their findings from a hard day of collecting and panning their 'pay dirt'. These tiny gold nuggets were called clinkers and clunkers depending on their size and the sounds they made when dropped on the counter to pay for things. This charm is an adorable reference to this time in American history. It's perfect for adding to your charm bracelet or for wearing alone as a pendant.
