Victorian c1865 14k Rose Gold Enamel Pearl Bar Pin Brooch

$374.40

Presented is a lovely, 14 karat rose gold bar pin from the 1860s. This Victorian piece is most certainly American. The form is interesting, and there are lovely black enamel designs on either end. The center has a raised piece of gold and is set with three small natural pearls in a clover form. The body of the pin is finely textured with a pebble finish.

Although this piece is not marked, we have tested it with nitric acid and guarantee it to be 14 karat purity.

This piece is in excellent overall condition, especially for its age. There is a single small split on reverse but it does not affect this pin in a structural way, please see the photo with arrow. One end of the pin is also missing some enamel. There are no missing pieces, no repairs and no problems other than those already mentioned.

The pin measures 2 1/4 inches wide and weighs 5.1 grams.
