FAQs

A stickpin is a decorative pin featuring a long shaft, traditionally worn by men and women during the 19th century to secure cravats, scarves, or lapels.

These pieces frequently utilised 18-carat yellow gold, natural gemstones exhibiting optical phenomena like chatoyancy, and delicate seed pearls arranged in floral or geometric clusters.

Authenticity is determined by examining hand-forged or integrated pin stems, period-appropriate metal purity hallmarks such as French eagle head stamps, and secure bezel or collet settings characteristic of late 19th-century craftsmanship.

Stickpins adapt well as modern lapel ornaments on blazers, accents on structured hats, or decorative closures for heavy knitted scarves and cardigans.

Preservation requires gentle cleaning with a soft microfiber cloth, avoiding harsh chemical dips that can damage organic gems like pearls, and storing individual pieces away from friction to prevent metal wear.
