Antique Fish Stickpin of 10k Gold

A charming antique stickpin (circa 1890-1900), designed as a finely detailed fish crafted in 10 karat gold, playfully holding a luminous pearl in its mouth. The figure is further animated by two tiny green eyes, lending subtle color and personality to the design. Figural jewelry such as this was popular in the late Victorian period, prized for its whimsical character and intricate craftsmanship.

The pin head measures 0.6 inches by 0.4 inches wide, with the entire stickpin measuring 2.2 inches in length and weighing 1.18 grams, giving it a delicate yet distinctive presence when worn on a lapel, cravat, or tie.

The piece is presented in great antique condition, with details crisp and the pearl secure. It may be purchased in its original stickpin form, or we can convert it into a wearable charm or pendant for an additional charge.

Metal authenticity has been professionally verified using XRF (X-ray fluorescence) analysis and traditional jeweler’s acid testing, confirming solid 10K gold construction. A delightful and collectible example of late 19th-century figural jewelry.
