Antique Victorian Gold & Matrix Opal Stick Pin / Tie Pin
Shipping/Handling: $20 USD
Insurance: Included in shipping
Price for shipping to USA
An antique English stick pin, dating to around 1900, and in excellent condition. The pin features a gold, open-back, collet mount, set with a natural, polished boulder opal gemstone. Boulder opal is found in Australia, where precious opal forms in veins and patches within brown ironstone boulders. The mount is a rose-gold color metal, which appears to be solid gold, but may be pinchbeck. It has been tested, and appears to be 15 carat gold, but I can't be absolutely sure, as the test area is tiny, for fear of spoiling a beautiful piece. The pin measures 2 1/2" in length, and the boulder opal measures 3/4" by 3/8" by 1/4" deep.
