# Solid Gold Character Figurines Bijou Concierge Co. and Sanrio Present a New Hello Kitty Figure By Amy Duong | Published 2024-11-07 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hello-kitty-figure References: [screenrant](https://screenrant.com/hello-kitty-gold-figure-50th-anniversary/) & [community.designtaxi](https://community.designtaxi.com/topic/6144-sanrios-hello-kitty-celebrates-50th-anniversary-with-limited-edition-24k-gold-figure/)  [Sanrio](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hello-kitty-funko) continues to celebrate the [50th anniversary of its beloved character](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hello-kitty-rubiks) with a new [Hello Kitty](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/baccarat-x-hello-kitty-crystal-figurine) figure made by iconic Japanese jewelry manufacturer Bijou Concierge Co. The collectible is regal and even designed with a crown and honorary anniversary staff. It measures about 60mm tall and weighs only 14 grams -- notably, it is made from 24-karat gold with 99.9% purity. What makes it stand out is the innovative design that has a velvet-like texture at the surface that really brings life to the iconic features of Hello Kitty. The crown is finished with glossy elements and the commemorative plague adds an elegant contrast. The piece is a great collectible that can be passed down through generations and although it is made from pure gold, it has a hollow construction.
