This 18k gold charm is in the image of Joe Camel, the notorious mascot of Camel cigarette brand. Also known as Old Joe, the camel was a genius in marketing, making smoking seem cool for decades, until he was banned in 1997. Though we don’t think smoking is very cool, once you put the cool in camel, you can’t take it out, and Old Joe will forever be an icon from a bygone era. This little 18k gold charm is a camel standing in profile, with reddish brown enamel. The enamel shows the swirling texture within the gold as the camel’s fur, and has various hues of red and orange that are striking against the gold.
The pendant measures 3/4” x 3/4”, plus an additional 7.8 mm round bail. It weighs 2 grams.
