Dating to circa 1963, this handsome 14k yellow gold circle medallion charm reflects the polished optimism and personal symbolism of mid-century American jewelry. At its center, a glowing citrine brings warmth and color to the substantial gold form, while the circular design lends the piece the timeless character of a miniature keepsake medal.

The charm bears the “BAB” maker’s mark of the A. Ballou Company, a New England jewelry manufacturer known for producing fine gold jewelry and personal adornments during the 20th century. Its most poignant detail, however, is the hand-engraved inscription, “C.L.S. 11-6-63,” preserving the initials and exact date of a meaningful moment more than six decades ago.

Whether commemorating a birthday, anniversary, milestone, or personal occasion, the engraving gives this jewel a story uniquely its own. A beautiful example of mid-century American craftsmanship, it combines the warmth of 14k gold and citrine with the enduring Victorian-era tradition of jewelry as a vessel for memory and sentiment.
