Antique 18k Victorian Gold Pearl Black Enamel Filigree Scrollwork Pin / Pendant
Regular price
$504.00
Presented is a fabulous 18 karat gold, pearl and enamel pin or pendant. This is an American piece, dating to around 1890-1910. The pin is done in a beautiful scrollwork filigree design, decorated with black enamel for a very striking effect. The pin is set with five pearls surrounding a slightly larger pearl in the center, all real, natural pearls given the time period. The pin has an old C clasp in the back, as well as a loop/bail that folds down, so it can be worn as a brooch or pendant, whichever you prefer.
The pin is in good overall condition. The pearls are clean and well set. The black enamel has some losses, as you can see in the photos, but could easily be touched up. The clasp functions well and closes securely.
This piece is not stamped or hallmarked, but we have tested it with nitric acid and guarantee it to be 18 karat gold.
The pin is about 1 inch in diameter.
This piece weighs 6.6 grams.
