A good egg charm carries one of the warmest compliments in British English. To call someone a good egg is to say they are kind, honest and reliable, the sort of person you are glad to have around.

Where the phrase comes from

"A good egg" appeared in British and American slang in the early 1900s, popularised as the friendly opposite of "a bad egg", an older term for someone untrustworthy. An egg looks fine on the outside, so the saying is really about what a person is like underneath.

What the good egg charm represents

Worn on a bracelet or necklace, the good egg charm is a quiet way to tell someone they are appreciated. It is given for loyalty, decency and the small everyday kindnesses that are easy to take for granted.

Who it suits

It makes a thoughtful gift for a dependable friend, a supportive colleague or a family member who always shows up. It works as a thank you, a just-because gift, or a token of appreciation.

The design behind the good egg

The Lily Charmed good egg charm shows a soft-boiled egg in a classic egg cup, finished with a runny 18ct gold yolk against recycled 925 sterling silver. Its universal hinged clasp fits Pandora bracelets and most charm carriers.

How to wear the good egg charm

The good egg charm works on its own as a single meaningful charm, or grouped with other food and drink charms for a playful breakfast theme. Pair it with the spoon or the teapot charm for a bracelet that tells a small everyday story about the people you are grateful for.
