Brand New with Box CELINE Small Gold Ring Bag Charm / Car Key Holder / Keychain

CLEINE gold ring bag charm - key ring (⁎⁍̴̛ᴗ⁍̴̛⁎), 100% authentic pre-owned item made in Spain! If you have any questions, please message before placing an order. All sales are final. For those familiar with Celine, you'll notice their accessories aren't as abundant as other brands, with items like keychains and bag charms being particularly rare. This piece is a small gold ring keychain and bag charm, crafted entirely from metal. The metal quality from this era is exceptional, offering a substantial feel without being flimsy. The gold ring motif is a signature element in Celine vintage pieces, and this one, while not large, is utterly charming! You don't need to worry about its weight either. Despite being metal, it's designed as a charm, so it won't feel heavy, even when attached to a bag, and won't strain your shoulder strap. If you already have a keychain, this can even be repurposed into a necklace. The small gold ring makes for a beautiful pendant on a longer chain. I can assist with this modification if needed! ⚐⚑˒˒ This charm is in near-mint condition. It's unused but shows minor signs of storage. It comes with its original box (the black one shown in the picture)! This is a stunning gold ring keychain and charm. The clasp features engraved CELINE lettering, exuding a small, exquisite, and radiant charm. The base of the gold ring bears a sterling silver hallmark – sterling silver! Considering that even brass charms are costly today, sterling silver is truly remarkable! It can be directly attached to your bag as a charm or used as a keychain. The clasp mechanism operates perfectly smoothly. Although there are minor imperfections, it remains unused. Overall, it's in great condition, with only slight flaws due to improper storage. However, it is absolutely new, unused, and comes with its box, offering exceptional value for money! ❍ The photos are personally taken by the owner under natural sunlight. Lighting conditions may vary, so slight color discrepancies are possible. I have more detailed photos available, but they cannot be displayed here. Please message me to request them! Due to the unique nature of pre-owned orders, all sales are final, with no returns or exchanges. Please review the photos carefully before making a purchase. ⋄┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈⋄⋄⋄┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈⋄ | Rating | Rank SA | Dimensions | / (Measured without internal contents) | Color | Gold | Material | Metal ⋄┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈⋄⋄⋄┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈⋄ The primary reason I adore pre-owned bags is the superior quality of materials used in earlier eras compared to modern pieces. Historically, most pre-owned items were meticulously handcrafted, embodying the warmth of artisanal skill rather than mass-produced machinery. The precision of a craftsman's hand far surpasses that of a machine, much like how people appreciate the unique touch of handmade creations! Today, the vast majority of production relies on automated processes with minimal human assembly, losing that exquisite detail of the past. A simple, direct comparison can be seen when examining the intricate patterns of vintage logos versus the newer "reissued" versions from recent years. The level of detail in the original patterns is simply incomparable. If you appreciate logos, pre-owned is the way to go! Truly. In terms of style, vintage pieces from earlier eras tend to be more ✦ simple, timeless, and enduring. Many current designs are actually revivals of older styles. However, new releases are often priced higher than their vintage counterparts. New designs typically build upon older models, adding details or altering the aesthetic. The final product often becomes more complex (or perhaps peculiar......) than the original vintage piece. As we mature, we realize that simplicity often endures the longest!! As you grow older, your wardrobe tends to return to foundational pieces because the most basic items are the most versatile. The quality of raw materials in vintage pieces is also superior to newer ones. Anyone with an understanding of ✦ leather can attest that the materials used in new items are often of a lower grade than vintage ones. This is largely due to the escalating cost and diminishing availability of premium raw materials. Earth's resources are becoming increasingly scarce! Furthermore, in the past, brands did not have the widespread presence they do today. Their clientele typically had a certain level of income and high expectations for the finished product. There was no "fast fashion culture" back then; a bag was expected to be used for many years. The difference between new and old is strikingly evident in the ✦ hardware. Many new pieces show oxidation and discoloration after just a year or two of use, but vintage items rarely do. This is not only due to superior materials and meticulous craftsmanship but also because hardware from earlier eras was often plated with genuine K gold! It's worth noting that Chanel Vintage is expensive for a reason; many of their clasps and chains contain real gold, certified by gold merchants! This is why, even for vintage bags from the 60s and 70s, the hardware can still gleam today if properly maintained. In contrast, among the brands I'm familiar with, none of their current new releases feature K gold in their hardware, making them prone to oxidation. Many consider purchasing vintage bags a unique form of investment, as they rarely depreciate and often appreciate in value. The availability of well-preserved pre-owned bags is diminishing, with each one being a unique, discontinued item. The number in existence is finite, meaning they will become increasingly rare, more expensive, and harder to find. Moreover, brands periodically increase their prices, and each adjustment tends to drive up the market value of pre-owned items. If a brand releases a "reissue," the reference vintage piece or similar styles will see a direct surge in price! Adding to this, the recent trend of Japanese and Korean celebrities favoring vintage pieces causes prices to skyrocket once a particular item is spotted on them. This leads to a frenzy of people searching for that specific model or a similar alternative, causing prices to multiply rapidly. Therefore, vintage is truly a case of "buy early, enjoy longer; buy late, pay more" (this isn't an advertising slogan... it's a truth in the pre-owned world...). This is based on my personal experience; I regret not acquiring certain pieces earlier, as they are now either impossible to find or available only at exorbitant prices. However, even at exorbitant prices, one might feel compelled to purchase, as waiting for the next opportunity will likely mean an even higher price (unless the condition is poor). I often receive questions about bag maintenance (ᐢ.ˬ.ᐢ). I include small notes with specific care instructions inside the bag, so you don't need to worry. My personal routine involves giving my bags a polish when I organize my closet during seasonal changes (which makes each seasonal change a significant undertaking...|||). Pre-owned bags aren't particularly high-maintenance. For newcomers, it's simply about adopting a habit of regular care and cherishing your bag. Once it becomes a routine, it's not difficult. The materials used in pre-owned bags are inherently excellent. As long as they are not used roughly and are stored properly, they can easily last another decade and be passed down to your daughter! Every pre-owned bag I collect is one I genuinely love, and I hope you will too and continue to preserve it for years to come ☪︎ *.。 ☾︎.*·̩͙ If you're interested in purchasing, please feel free to message me with any questions.
