Antique 18K Gold Plated Pig Charm, Signed Oria, French Rolled Gold Fob Pendant, Belle Époque Charm Bracelet Jewelry

A little pig, cast in gold, caught mid-leap.

This charming 18K gold-plated pig charm carries the signature of Oria, a respected French rolled-gold ("or laminé") house on its back. Modeled in a lively running pose with finely detailed ears, snout and tail, it hangs from its original dog-clip bail — ready to attach to a bracelet, chain, or watch chain, just as it was worn a century ago.

Type: Charm / fob pendant Material: 18K gold-plated (rolled gold), signed Oria Dimensions: 21.8 mm (L) x 12.6 mm (H) x 4.5 mm (D) — 0.86 x 0.50 x 0.18 in Origin: France Condition: Good antique condition, with gentle wear consistent with age

The modeling is confident and full of character: the piglet's body is softly rounded, its legs mid-stride, its little tail curled — the kind of playful detail collectors of antique charms love to find. The dog-clip fastener is fully functional, and the "Oria" signature is clearly struck near the bail.

Oria was a French jewelry house founded in 1897, specialized in high-quality gold-plated ("or laminé") pieces — a technique that let buyers of the prosperous Belle Époque and early 20th-century France wear jewelry with the look of solid gold. The house was distributed through select retailers across France and Belgium and received gold medals and honors at international exhibitions in Nantes (1924), Barcelona (1929), Antwerp (1930), and Paris (1931).

Wear it on a charm bracelet, thread it onto a chain as a pendant, or simply add it to a collection of antique charms — its dog-clip bail makes it easy to move from piece to piece.

This little pig will delight collectors of antique French charms, lovers of Belle Époque jewelry, and anyone drawn to pieces with genuine signed history.

A signed Oria piece is a rare find, and this one keeps its charm, its clip, and its personality fully intact — a tangible piece of early 20th-century French jewelry craftsmanship, ready to be worn again.
