The New Jean Jean Vintage Cachet Collection

Something very odd is happening in my jewelry box. Yes, rings and cocktail rings have always and will always rule–but another category has taken a dramatic increase as of late, charms! I’ve been enjoying their collectible nature, as many of you know I’m such a collector at heart, so naturally these are a great fit. Whether it is a charm that reminds me of something in my life or just something that appeals to me, I’ve been gathering quite a few these past few months.

And then I saw these from Jean Jean Vintage and couldn’t have fallen more in love! Introducing the Cachet Collection–Cachet being French for a “seal affixed to a document or letter.” Each tiny charm is a double sided wax seal stamped nugget of gold, flattened to perfection. They are sentimental, romantic and most importantly adorable. And the subtleness of the charm allows you to wear one or ten! Add is to your favorite necklace or chain…or maybe even a charm bracelet?!

There are 14 different Cachet charms from Jean Jean Vintage–each featuring two original Victorian wax seal stamps, depicting different messages, some even hidden or not as obvious. You can currently purchase all 14 on the Jean Jean Vintage Etsy page in 10k yellow gold, however if you’d like 14k yellow, white or rose gold, even 18k or platinum, custom orders can be done! There are even ways to add diamonds and other gemstones, which creates a whole new dimension to them! With the holidays quickly approaching, the price points on these are great for friends and family gift giving. Each of the 14 designs are special, so be sure to read about each and decipher which one is right for you!

I picked no.6–the two sides are as follows: side 1 ∙ a dog seated, at attention, in front of a tombstone with an hourglass on top. In French, the phrase reads “le temps passe, l’amitié reste / time passes, friendship remains.” side 2 ∙ day of the week, “Samedi / Saturday.” Of course I had to pick the one with a dog. I’ve been wearing mine on a vintage 1950s child’s “add a pearl” necklace chain, that is super short, so it is almost a choker on me. I like this charm sitting higher up, but I’m sure I will be changing it up a lot and wearing it often! Thanks Duff of Jean Jean Vintage for creating these amazing charms and gifting me one!
