THE LONG AND SHORT OF IT ~
Type: Safety pin, parts & findings, extender
Materials: 18k Gold, Diamond
Era: early 1900s
ABOUT:
An awesome diamond encrusted safety pin or jabot pin. The top curved part is set with over 50 little rose cut diamonds giving it a pave appearance, it is super sparkly. Besides pins, I’ve also seen these incorporated into neck stacks as extenders and charm holders.
French hallmark for 18k gold.
MEASUREMENTS:
The diamonds 1 to 1.5mm each.
The piece measures 51x15mm, it weighs 4.1g
Still perfectly wearable. The pin back has tension in its spring. Sometimes the bar can push in towards the other side but it does stay closed. There is some build up around the diamonds seen under magnification but I am always hesitant to scrub antique pieces with such small stones.
Chain in photos is not included.
IMPORTANT CONDITION NOTES:
Please note that all my pieces are pre-owned and in estate condition. They will have patina, surface wear, a few small nicks. These pieces may also have evidence of a sizing, some build up around the stones and / or inclusions seen under magnification, typical for antique pieces. I have mentioned any noticeable issues above and they are all still wearable and eager to be loved and accepted for many years to come, (the preservation of antique jewelry, even those with signs of their age and history, is important to me. : )
But - Please note due to age, this piece is not in mint condition. Pictures also serve as part of the description and condition report so please utilize the zoom feature which will magnify any wear significantly more than what is visible to the eye while wearing : )
I would be delighted if you'd follow me in my shop. Thanks for stopping by!
