Antique Garnet Beetle Stickpin of 10k Gold

This charming late Victorian stickpin features a finely crafted beetle rendered in 10k gold, its body set with a deep red garnet cabochon that glows with warmth and richness. Naturalistic insect motifs were highly fashionable during the late 19th century, symbolizing vitality, protection, and transformation.

The pin head measures 0.6 inches tall by 0.65 inches wide, while the overall piece retains its original pin stem. It is in great condition, showing only minimal surface wear consistent with age.

For assurance of quality, the gold has been professionally tested using both X-ray fluorescence (XRF) analysis and traditional jeweler’s acid testing, confirming its 10k purity.

Materials: Garnet, 10k gold.
