Presented is a lovely Victorian 14 karat gold bar pin. This piece is probably of
Italian make, and dates to about the 1850s-1870s. The pin is done very much in
the Etruscan Revival style, in a barbell form. The pin is set with pyramid or
sugarloaf cut turquoise or possibly opaque glass. The gold has an attractive
matte finish and filigree texturing. The clasp is an old capped C style.
The pin is in great condition. The clasp closes well and securely, and has a
strong tension mechanism. There are no breaks and no repairs.
This pin has been nitric acid tested and is guaranteed 14 karat gold.
The pin is about 2 3/8 inches long.
This pin weighs 5.6 grams.
