This late 19th century pin is French and bears a boar’s head hallmark for 800-900 silver. The stone tests as a natural amethyst.

It measures 2 and 1/8” (5.5cms) by 1¼” (3cms). It weighs a substantial 16.6 grams.

The oval pin is pierced and with delicately engraved scrolls and pretty motifs on either side. In the centre is a bezel set, rectangular amethyst with two silver balls.

The reverse is smoothly finished with some serial numbers on the base. There is an old style c clip and long pin. The clip bears the boar’s head and a maker’s mark.

This beautiful, antique pin is in fine condition. It will arrive in a gift box.
