This 14K yellow gold stick pin is a striking example of Art Nouveau design, dating to circa 1900, its open lyre shaped frame set with a genuine round sapphire, an old mine cut diamond, and a single pearl. The sapphire, weighing approximately 0.21 carats and measuring 3.45 millimeters, sits at the heart of the pierced gold motif, its rich blue tone offset by an old mine cut diamond weighing approximately 0.22 carats, graded H to I color and SI2 clarity, and measuring 3.54 x 3.72 millimeters. A small pearl, measuring 2.09 millimeters, adds a soft point of contrast within the flowing, hand pierced gold scrollwork characteristic of the Art Nouveau period. The pin head measures 0.75 x 0.5 inches, with a total length of 2.2 inches and a total weight of 1.64 grams, offering the delicate scale typical of turn of the century stick pins. Stamped 14K yellow gold, this piece reflects the fine handwork and asymmetrical, nature inspired lines that defined jewelry design at the turn of the twentieth century.

With September's sapphire and April's diamond both represented, it also makes a thoughtful birthstone gift for any collector drawn to genuine Art Nouveau jewelry. DISCLAIMER: Vintage and antique pieces often test 1 to 2 karats lower than what they are stamped because of manufacturing methods and regulations at the time it was made. We use standard gold testing equipment to test all of our pieces, but eBay authentication uses advanced x-ray equipment to get an exact read. Therefore, it is possible that eBay authentication’s x-ray of the item will come up as anywhere from 12k-14k gold when it is stamped 14k. Please feel free to reach out to us with any questions.
