Antique Heart and Riding Crop Stickpin of 18k Gold

A charming and symbolically rich antique stickpin from 1900, crafted in 18k gold and featuring a romantic heart rendered in platinum and set with sparkling diamonds. The heart is thoughtfully accented with a lustrous pearl and a ruby riding crop, a motif often associated with equestrian pursuits, sport, and fashionable leisure at the turn of the 20th century. Together, these elements create a jewel that blends sentiment, status, and playful symbolism, all hallmarks of Edwardian-era design.

The pin head measures approximately 0.5 inches by 0.65 inches wide, with the entire pin measuring 2.6 inches long, offering a refined yet visually engaging scale suitable for lapels, cravats, or collection display.

The metals have been professionally verified using XRF (X-ray fluorescence) analysis and confirmed with traditional jeweler’s acid testing, authenticating the 18k gold construction and platinum-topped diamond setting. It is in great antique condition.
