Victorian Amethyst Watch Pin of 12k Gold

A striking Victorian era antique watch pin dating to 1900–1910, designed with two sculptural serpents crafted in 12 karat gold flanking a richly colored oval-cut amethyst. The vivid purple amethyst forms a luminous focal point between the sinuous gold forms, creating a beautifully balanced composition characteristic of late Victorian jewelry design.

The piece measures 0.9 inches by 1 inch wide and weighs 2.86 grams, offering a refined yet distinctive presence when worn.

It is presented in great antique condition, with the gemstone secure and details well preserved.

Gemstone identification has been confirmed using Raman spectroscopy, a non-destructive analytical technique that provides a precise chemical fingerprint to verify authenticity.

Metal authenticity has been professionally verified using XRF (X-ray fluorescence) analysis and traditional jeweler’s acid testing, confirming solid 12K gold construction.
