Large Antique Victorian 14K Gold Stick Pin 1/2” Faceted Estate Stone 4g
Large Antique Victorian 14K Gold Stick Pin 1/2” Faceted Estate Stone 4g
Description
A striking antique Victorian-era stick pin crafted in solid 14K gold, featuring an unusually large ½-inch faceted golden gemstone with exceptional presence.
This piece embodies the elegance of late 19th to early 20th century gentleman’s adornment—an era when even subtle accessories were designed to convey refinement and status.
The hand-fabricated prong setting and open-back construction allow light to fully engage the stone, producing a warm honey-gold glow that stands out immediately when worn. The twisted shaft detail further reflects authentic period craftsmanship rarely seen in modern pieces.
Unlike most antique stick pins, this example features a notably large stone, giving it far greater visual impact and collectibility.
