The exterior has a wonderful classical engine-turned design and being made from solid 9ct gold, it has a wonderful warm (slightly rose) colour tone.

FAQs

Cigar picks and piercers gained popularity during the Victorian and Edwardian eras as gentlemen enjoyed fine tobacco, often carrying specialized pocket tools to improve the draw of tightly rolled cigars.

High-end smoking accessories were frequently crafted from solid precious metals such as 9ct or 18ct gold and sterling silver, often featuring intricate machine-engraved patterns known as engine-turning or guilloche.

Authenticity is typically verified through clear makers marks, traditional hallmarks stamped into the metal indicating the metal purity, assay office, and year of manufacture.

These miniature artifacts look sophisticated when displayed inside glass cabinets, on decorative trays, or paired with other desk accessories in a study or library.

Solid gold requires minimal maintenance; cleaning with a soft microfibre cloth and warm soapy water helps maintain the polished finish without damaging any delicate engraved detailing.
