Featuring an image of Frida Kahlo and one of her beloved monkeys, this elegant golden charm is based on one of Frida's many self-portraits. It measures 3/4-inch high (including the loop) and about 1/2 inch wide. It is for earrings, a charm bracelet, or your artwork. Because it has not been oxidized, the image is subtle, but still quite detailed.
