Victorian 14KY gold and enamel ladybug mushroom charm

Description : Did you know that the symbol of the mushroom represented spiritual re-growth, and enlightenment? What a great way to support a friend in time of need. Mushrooms have been eaten for food and taken for their hallucinogenic properties for thousands of years. Throughout history they have represented spiritualism and have been surrounded by mysterious tales, for instance the mushroom fairy rings in Great Britain. Cast in solid gold, and 20mm tall x 15mm wide, this mushroom is hand engraved with the year 1916. A darling enameled ladybug sits atop the cap. 1916 was the year Einstein formulated his theory on relativity which included gravity. Collecting charms always indicate a memento of a time and a place. This charm certainly does.
