This vintage charm was removed from the gold charm bracelet my mother in law received when she pledged Delta Delta Delta sorority at the University of Southern California (USC). She graduated in 1951, and I believe she pledged in 1949. I am keeping many other charms from the bracelet, but since I was never a Tri Delt, I\'ve decided to let the ones specific to the sorority go so someone who is a member can enjoy them. (There are three other Delta Delta Delta charms; these are also being listed at this time, so check my other listings if you are interested.)
I brought the bracelet to a reputable jeweler in my town, who removed all of the charms from the bracelet, and also tested them (acid test) and examined the stones. He advised me that this triangular charm features 12 tiny seed pearls, and three garnets at the corners. With the acid drops, this charm tested as 10K gold, and the loop attached at the top, from which it hung on the bracelet, is 14K.
It measures about 6/8\" long, measuring on the longest side of the triangle. From the nonsmoking estate of the original owner.
