Presented is a beautiful 18 karat gold, opal and pearl bar pin. This is an American piece, dating to around 1910. The pin is done in a beautiful scrolled design, set with a round opal between two pearls. The opal is a gorgeous specimen, with bright flashes of green, orange and blue fire, very lively. The pin has a clasp with a safety latch, as well as a hook for stability and a further safety pin attached via a chain. This stickpin is topped with an old mine cut diamond, for an extra touch.

The clasp is stamped 14k, which applies only to the clasp, which is a replacement. The pin itself is nitric acid tested and guaranteed 18 karat gold.
