Timeless Elegance: Victorian Pearl & Diamond 18k Gold Stick Pin (Circa 1910 Ascot Pin)

Antique Victorian Pearl and Old European Cut Diamond Stick Pin in 18k Yellow Gold – Classic Circa 1910 Ascot Pin | Fine Antique Jewelry for Men & Women | PN-1970

Unearth a Miniature Masterpiece of Edwardian-Era Sophistication

Step back in time with this exquisitely preserved Victorian pearl and diamond stick pin, a stunning miniature of the opulent Late Victorian and early Edwardian aesthetic. Dating to approximately Circa 1910, this magnificent piece is more than just an antique; it is a wearable piece of history, an heirloom to be cherished for generations. The refined elegance of this 18k yellow gold stick pin makes it a perfect, unique accessory for the modern connoisseur of fine antique jewelry.

The centerpiece of this captivating design is its distinctive metalwork: a wonderfully executed twisted corkscrew design in rich, buttery 18-karat yellow gold. This intricate detail elevates the classic stick pin silhouette, lending it an air of dynamic, yet understated, sophistication. The warm glow of the high-karat gold provides a beautiful, contrasting backdrop for the luminous gems it cradles.

The Finest Gems: Silver White Pearl & Old European Cut Diamonds

At the head of the pin, a graceful silver white round pearl takes center stage. Pearls were highly favored during the Victorian and Edwardian periods, symbolizing purity and modesty. This particular pearl, measuring 5.9mm, exhibits a beautiful luster and a subtle, sought-after rose overtone, adding a layer of depth and vintage charm that modern pearls simply cannot replicate.

Complementing the pearl are three sparkling Old European Cut diamonds, the classic diamond cut of the period. These diamonds, totaling a precise 0.17 carats, are cut by hand to maximize fire and scintillation under candlelight, a truly romantic feature. Their specifications speak to their quality and vintage appeal:

• Diamond Color: H to I (Near colorless to very faint tint)
• Diamond Clarity: VS1 to SI1 (Very slightly included to slightly included)
• Total Number of Diamonds: 3
• Diamond Measurements: Ranging from 2.4 x 1.31 to 1.52 mm

These diamonds, nestled beautifully within the yellow gold setting, provide the perfect amount of contrasting sparkle against the soft glow of the pearl. The overall effect is one of classic glamour and timeless design.

A Versatile Piece of Antique Jewelry

While historically known as a cravat pin or tie pin for securing a gentleman’s neckwear—including the popular ascot or four-in-hand tie—this piece transcends its original purpose. Today, antique stick pins are highly sought after by collectors for their versatility. This specific design, noted as an ascot pin, can be styled in a multitude of ways:

• Lapel Pin: Wear it on the lapel of a modern suit, blazer, or coat for an unexpected flash of vintage luxury. It’s the ultimate conversation starter for both men and women.
• Scarf Pin: Secure a delicate silk scarf, shawl, or tie with unmatched elegance.
• Hat Pin: Though shorter than traditional hat pins, it makes a wonderful, decorative accent for a fedora, cloche, or wide-brimmed hat.
• Collector’s Item: An exquisite addition to any collection of Edwardian jewelry, Late Victorian jewelry, or antique men’s accessories.

The pin measures a substantial 71 mm (2.77 inches) in length, with a head width of 9 mm (0.35 inches) at its widest point. The piece weighs 3.13 grams (without the base metal clutch), a solid feel that confirms its quality 18 karat gold construction. It remains in excellent antique condition, a testament to the enduring craftsmanship of the period.
