Tax excluded. Shipping calculated at checkout
This exceptional Victorian era bar pin (ca1880) has an artistic medieval inspired design! Crafted in 14kt gold, the piece features a detailed portrait head of a medieval knight at the center. The face is hand carved from an alluring moonstone, displaying a wonderful translucence and pale blue flash. The 3-dimensional carving is quite exceptional, including realistic facial features, a bearded chin, and a traditional medieval helmet. Delicate seed pearls line the neckline, and a single ruby is set at the center of the helmet in within an etched star. At either end of the gold bar is a delicate seed pearl accent, completing the wonderful design. A gold bar pin and catch rest on the back of the piece, and a curved hook at the top originally provided extra security when pinned to a fur garment. The pin comes in a velvet and satin-lined antique box from the Victorian era. A simply outstanding piece, it is perfect for the Victorian jewelry lover and would make a special addition to any collection!
