Presented is a charming 14 karat gold and garnet stickpin. This is an American
piece, dating to around the turn of the century. The head of the pin is set with

in an attractive spiraled design.
This piece is stamped and guaranteed 14k.

The pin is about 2 1/2 inches long. The garnet measures 9.6mm x 7.1mm. (.37" x .28")
The total weight, including the stopper bead, is 2.7 grams. The weight of just the pin, without the back, is 2.0 grams.
