Gorgeous hard to find Victorian 14k Gold Carved Stars Banded Agate Stickpin. From an estate and in completely original condition. Somewhere along the way it was jeweler marked 14K; it is also tested and guaranteed to be solid 14K gold both head AND stick. Original, authentic mid 1800s and beautifully hand made. The carved banded agate stone is stunning. It has a deeply carved flower star in the black layer of the banding amid a more sharply defined carved star in the white layer of the banding.

This agate was then carefully housed in a lovely 14K gold bezel with a hand twisted and wrapped 14K gold frame. Absolutely gorgeous antique Victorian hand crafting and use of fine quality materials that you no longer see today. Other than a very small age/use fingernail crease on the upper back and a small age bend in the stick it is in excellent condition. Size is 2 1/2″ tall North to South. The head is 5/8″ by 1/2″. This is an impressive and hard to find carved agate for your Victorian gold stickpin jewelry collection.
