A sweet miniature bicycle charm, fabricated in 14k yellow gold by the well-known New York jewelers Sloan & Co. This tiny bicycle is admirably made, with a delicate frame, miniature pedals, and spoked wheels that rotate freely. It hangs from an oval jump ring. We especially love the way the wheels were made, here— the four spokes, staggered on either side of each wheel, give the bicycle a realistic depth!

These antique Sloan & Co. charms are like tiny sculptures— they are always finely detailed and beautifully finished. While they were considered novelties in their day, their exceptional construction sets them far apart from other, newer charms.
