Description
Gorgeous, showy antique Edwardian Art Nouveau dated 1909 brass wrap around stickpin with a lovely large citrine or crystal stone. Marked Pat AUG17,09 Gold On RESD. Size is 2 11/16″ tall. The top is 7/8″ long across the wrap by 7/16″ wide. The stone looks natural but could be a very good early synthetic. It has lovely golden amber color and internal fissures rather than bubbles which would indicate glass. Hand jeweled, bezel set and open backed. Overall condition is excellent. No damage or repair. From an estate for many, many decades and never polished so it has plenty of age patina. This is an unusually eautiful early showy stickpin for your collection! Will polish out to look like gold.
