Vintage Motifs in Their Most Luxurious Form
24ct gold enhances every detail with a naturally rich, deep golden hue. These designs — from ornate ewer pitchers to vintage slot machines — come alive in a metal revered throughout history for its purity and symbolic power. Whether you’re designing for ceremonial jewellery, legacy collections, or personal treasures, 24ct gold adds unmistakable weight, warmth, and importance to every piece.
Ethical Luxury with Fine Gold Craftsmanship
At Ore Metals, we craft our 24ct gold charms using responsibly sourced and recycled gold wherever possible. This ensures that every necklace charm, bracelet charm, and earring charm not only delivers exquisite luxury but also supports sustainable, ethical jewellery-making practices. It’s a meaningful way to honour the past while protecting the future.
Crafted to Be Treasured for Generations
Though softer than alloyed gold, 24ct gold is prized for its unmatched purity and historical resonance. Our 24ct vintage charms are crafted with care to ensure they remain beautiful and meaningful through time — whether kept as collectibles, passed down as heirlooms, or worn in thoughtfully curated jewellery pieces. These are charms to preserve, protect, and cherish.

Ideal for connoisseurs, collectors, and luxury jewellery designers, these charms honour craftsmanship and culture. Let your jewellery creations carry the story of time — only at Ore Metals.
Frequently Asked Questions
