A very cool, moveable, miniature charm, modeled in 14k yellow gold by the well-known New York jewelers Sloan & Co. This tiny hand-fabricated charm is made to resemble a tube of lipstick. Push the charm's button plunger upwards, and a knob of bright red enameled lipstick emerges from its gold case; push it down, and the make-up returns to the tube! This is a rare charm from Sloan & Co.'s beloved catalog of miniatures. We have hand-polished it gently, but have left much of the original patina. This is marked 14k for purity and with the Sloan and Co. Lyre.

This hangs from a spring ring clasp, which makes it easy to attach or remove a charm from a charm bracelet, or necklace. If you prefer a new, standard jump ring, please add a note at checkout. Our photos greatly exaggerate the patinated areas— this charm is clean and bright in person.
