Enchanted Charm Sterling Silver | Fairy Hands On Chin Charm | Made in USA

A fairy resting her chin in her hands — wings spread, elbows on her knees — cast in 4.5 grams of .925 sterling silver. This 3/4" x 3/4" charm captures an expression of whimsical curiosity, as if she's deciding whether you're worth talking to.

The progressive hand-polishing process is what brings a fairy's personality to life. After the raw casting emerges from the mold, each piece is filed to define the wing edges, polished with tripoli compound to smooth the body, then buffed with rouge to bring the face and hands to a bright finish. The wings are left with slightly more texture to suggest translucence.

This pose — chin in hands, watching from a perch — appears throughout fairy illustration, from Arthur Rackham's Edwardian watercolors to Brian Froud's more modern interpretations. It's the pose of a creature that is ancient, patient, and slightly amused by human behavior.

Perfect for fairy tale lovers, Rackham art collectors, fantasy readers, or as a whimsical gift for someone with an impish sense of humor. The sterling silver jump ring is attached and ready for a bracelet or chain.
