Vintage 18K Gold Sputnik Charm, Multicolour Gemstone Orb Pendant, 1950s–60s Space Age Jewellery, Modernist Gold Sphere Charm

A striking vintage 18k gold Sputnik pendant, dating to the 1950s–60s, with a playful, sculptural design inspired by the Space Age.
This wonderfully unusual charm features a polished golden sphere covered in radiating cylindrical settings, each crowned with a colourful, rounded gemstone. Deep reds, emerald greens, soft pinks, purples and smoky tones create a lively contrast against the warm gold.

A distinctive example of mid-century modernist jewellery, with a three-dimensional design that looks captivating from every angle. 
Perfect worn alone as a statement pendant or added to a collection of vintage charms.

The main body is crafted in solid 18k gold, without visible hallmarks but acid-tested positive as 18k. The pendant is fitted with a 9k gold bail.

In good vintage condition, with light surface wear and small signs of ageing consistent with its history. Some gemstones display natural inclusions and minor surface imperfections.
