This 14k yellow gold stickpin was originally worn in a man’s cravat, the predecessor of the necktie. Its top is shaped like a silver spatula, encrusted with four rose-cut diamonds and a cooked egg, made from a cream-coloured pearl, which is not tested but is likely of natural origin.
Not pictured is a little stopper, which I will include with your purchase to ensure you can wear the pin safely and securely!
Feel free to reach out if you’d like to discuss having this pin converted into a pendant for a small additional fee.
