Vintage XL Razor Blade Charm

A fabulous vintage 1970s razor blade charm, and one of those designs that just seems to come back around over and over again because it just IS eternally cool.

Razor blade jewellery had a huge moment in the 1970s, and there is something about the shape that still feels incredibly sharp, graphic and slightly rebellious now. It is basically the perfect little badass punctuation mark in a charm stack.

And this one is BIG.

For a charm, the proportions are properly generous, so once it is on a chain it has real visual impact. It is wide, tall and immediately noticeable, but because the whole piece sits beautifully flat, it doesn’t feel cumbersome or bulky to wear.

That flat construction is also what makes it such a clever use of gold. You get this enormous-looking statement across the chest without needing an absurd amount of gold weight to achieve it. It is still completely solid, so it feels like a proper piece of jewellery rather than something flimsy or hollow, but all the gold is working very hard for you visually.

Graphic, chunky, rebellious and incredibly easy to style. Wear it alone on a simple chain or throw it into a completely overloaded charm stack and let it do its thing.
