Antique Goose Stickpin of 18k Gold

A charming antique stickpin, designed as a whimsical goose formed from a baroque pearl, set with a vivid ruby eye and detailed enameled tail feathers, all mounted on an 18 karat gold pin. The natural contours of the baroque pearl lend lifelike character to the figure, while the enamel and gemstone accents enhance its playful yet refined presence—hallmarks of late 19th-century figural jewelry.

The pin head measures 0.4 inches by 0.4 inches wide, with the entire stickpin measuring 2.7 inches in length and weighing 1.77 grams, offering a delicate yet distinctive accent when worn on a lapel, cravat, or tie.

It is presented in great antique condition, with enamel well preserved and details crisp. It appears as though the neck was formed from two parts that were glued together and that it is not one solid pearl.

Metal authenticity has been professionally verified using XRF (X-ray fluorescence) analysis and traditional jeweler’s acid testing, confirming solid 18K gold construction. A delightful and collectible example of antique figural jewelry.
