Fierce. Ancient. Unmistakably Bold.
Crafted in solid 18k gold, this small but mighty vintage French scorpion charm is a striking blend of artistry and symbolism. Its sculpted form — complete with raised pincers, defined body, and a circular frame — gives the piece a dimensional, tactile character that sets it apart from modern flat-cut charms. A discreet hallmark near the bail confirms its gold purity and hand-finished craftsmanship.
 
Across history and cultures, the scorpion has been a powerful and intriguing emblem. It represents protection, strength, resilience, and transformational energy. In jewelry, the scorpion stands out as a symbol that moves beyond the conventional: it’s mysterious yet elegant, fierce yet refined. Perfect for those who walk confidently in their individuality, it’s a meaningful talisman for anyone drawn to bold motifs with ancient roots.
Sold with a modern gold 18k vermeil over sterling chain for immediate wearability. 
 
Sourced in France and curated by Paris-based Vivienne Birt for Chateau Love, this charm embodies the timeless sophistication and meticulous artistry that defines our carefully selected chateau-worthy collection of luxurious antique and vintage jewelry.
