Mid Century 14k Gold United States Passport Charm Pendant

This mid century 14k yellow gold passport charm pendant dates to the 1950s to 1960s and reflects the novelty travel charm style popular during the period. The charm is designed as a miniature United States passport, with “Passport” lettering, the U.S. eagle emblem, and “United States of America” engraved across the front. The booklet opens to reveal interior passport details, including a photo frame and engraved fields for name, height, hair, eyes, born, and occupation.

The charm measures 7/8 inch in length and 3/4 inch in width, giving it a compact scale while retaining strong dimensional detail. It weighs 4.9 grams and is stamped AC 14K, confirming 14k gold purity and the maker’s mark. There is patina visible within the front engraving, adding depth to the design and reflecting the charm’s age and wear.

Miniature gold travel charms were especially popular in the mid 20th century, often collected as personal keepsakes or added to charm bracelets to represent milestones, destinations, and identity related themes. This example combines hinged construction, detailed engraving, and a recognizable passport form in a wearable 14k gold charm.
