Vintage Taxco Mexican Sterling Silver Cat Kitten w Bowtie Pin

1850s to 1860s Antique Victorian 14K gold Taille d Epargne enamel pin with tiny turquoise accent stones in the center. From an estate from many decades ago where it was kept in original, excellent, gently used condition. It is jeweler tested and Guaranteed to be solid 14K gold......Not plated or filled. It is also beautifully made by hand with fine Taille d Epargne work, a very large hand applied original Victorian C clasp (better quality) that completely covers the end of the pin rod, hand applied rivets in the back and an evenly blown out rounded gold front with fancy texturing and tiny bezel set stones. Weight is 3 grams. Size is 1 1/4″ long by 3/8″ wide in the center. Depth is 3/16″ without the pin back and 3/8″ with the rod included. There are No alterations or repairs of any kind. No dents or tears or deep scratches to the gold. No wearing down of the gold…still nice and thick. No wear to the enameling. This is a lovely piece of fine antique estate jewelry for your antique Victorian gold collection. Would also look great as a center piece for a necklace or to convert to a Victorian watch pin...
