A lovely antique sovereign case crafted in 9ct gold. This is a real statement piece, designed so that sovereigns could be safely and stylishly transported. This sovereign case looks fabulous worn on a long chain on its own or as part of a neck stack.

The front of the sovereign case is engraved with the following:

‘A.B.A.B. FROM H.J.A.W. on the front and ‘NOV.8th, 1913.’ on the back.

The sovereign case measures 29mm across the circle of the case and has a drop of 43mm from the top of the bail to the bottom of the case. It weighs 12.9g. It is crafted in 9ct antique yellow gold. It is stamped on the bail and twice on the internal sovereign holder mechanism with ‘9 375’ for 9ct gold. It also has a full hallmark for Birmingham, 1913 on the underside of the lid. The sovereign case closes securely with a satisfying click.

The case has some dents and bangs, especially on the back (non-engraved side). Please see the photographs. It is far from perfect but has real charm and has obviously been well loved. This damage is reflected in the price.

Please look closely at the photographs as they form part of this description.

The chains and other pieces of jewellery are not included.
