In Denmark, the mermaid is not merely a mythological figure — she is a national emblem. From Hans Christian Andersen's beloved 1837 tale to the iconic bronze sculpture that has graced Copenhagen's harbor since 1913, the mermaid carries the full weight of Danish cultural identity. This exquisite 14k gold charm dates to the 1960s or earlier, distills that heritage into a small, precisely crafted object of enduring beauty.
The 585 fineness mark confirms 14-karat gold to the European standard — the same purity mark found on Danish pieces from Copenhagen's most esteemed workshops. The BH maker's mark identifies a registered Danish goldsmith, lending this charm both authenticity and provenance traceable to a specific artisan tradition. Mid-century Scandinavian design was a golden era of jewelry making — clean lines, artisanal craft, and an embrace of the figurative that collectors continue to prize.

Helping you find the perfect fit is our priority. There is a flat fee of $60 to size down. The sizing-up cost varies based on width of the ring and the amount of material required.
