Crystal Pineapple Charm - Gold Stainless Steel - 9.8x14.7mm

In 18th-century Britain and colonial America the pineapple became a symbol of welcome, and it still decorates gateposts and doorways. The first pineapple reached Europe from Guadeloupe in the 1490s, and for generations the fruit was so rare that hosts were said to hire one to show off at a dinner party. Sea captains returning from the tropics are said to have set one outside their door to tell friends it was time to visit. As a charm it stands for hospitality and warmth. It is a fitting gift for a host at a housewarming or a dinner invitation. Read more motifs at JewelMotif™ · Watch & read: History of Charm Bracelets: How the Trend Began

Choose Charm only to add it to a bracelet you already own. Charm + Clasp adds a small lobster clasp so it clips straight on - no pliers, no open links - and it works just as well on a bag, a zip pull, a keyring or a watch strap. Charm + Gold Bracelet or Charm + Silver Bracelet pairs it with our Gold or Silver Paperclip Chain Bracelet - fine-gauge stainless steel, adjustable from 16cm to 20cm. Bought as a set they cost 30% less than buying separately.

The crystals are glue-set into shallow cups. Showers, swimming pools, hot tubs and ultrasonic cleaners all attack the adhesive rather than the stones - take it off before water and clean with a dry soft cloth. The metal underneath is stainless steel and does not tarnish, rust or turn skin green. Full guidance at our Stainless Steel Care Card and the JewelCare™ hub.
