A Victorian stick pin dates to around 1890 in the gentleman's library style. The piece uses 9ct gold, bullseye agate, and a seed pearl, displaying a palette of gold, black, and white. The design incorporates an oval bevelled bezel containing a bullseye agate cabochon with a star-set seed pearl, mounted on a twisted pin shank. The photograph shows a textured grey woven background fabric, a distinct white-on-black banded circular stone pattern, and a diagonal ribbed twist pattern running along the middle of the gold shaft. The pin measures 8.5 cm high, 1.5 cm wide, and 1 cm deep. In a contemporary home, this item serves as a personal accessory suitable for wear on a lapel or tie. The head contains the oval black and white stone framing the star motif, while the long gold stem tapers to a sharp point at the end. The construction presents a clean surface with no dents, splits, or losses visible on the metal or stone components.

FAQs

Victorian stick pins, also known as cravat or tie pins, were introduced in the 19th century to secure neckwear such as cravats and neckcloths. Popularised among both men and women, they evolved from purely functional items into decorative accessories reflecting Victorian sentimentality and style trends.

Victorian stick pins were typically constructed using yellow gold in purities ranging from 9ct to 18ct, as well as silver. Decorative heads frequently incorporated semi-precious hardstones like agate and onyx, along with seed pearls, enamel work, and micro-mosaics.

Authentic Victorian stick pins often display hallmark stamps on the pin stem or reverse setting. Key features include hand-set stones, star-engraved starburst mounts for pearls, and spiral or twisted texturing along the central shank designed to prevent the pin from sliding out of fabric.

Modern wearers often style Victorian stick pins on blazer lapels, winter coats, or scarves. They can also be worn as hat pins or clustered together on jacket lapels to create a layered decorative accessory.

Clean the piece gently using a dry, soft microfibre cloth to remove oils and dust. Avoid submerging in water or using ultrasonic cleaners, as harsh liquids can damage organic seed pearls or deteriorate settings around hardstones.
