Commanding and elegant, this antique 14k gold stickpin (circa 1890) features the finely detailed head of a lioness, her ruby eye glinting with ferocity as she grips a sparkling old mine cut diamond between her teeth. The sculptural detail captures the wild beauty and strength of the creature in miniature form.
The head of the pin measures 0.5 inches by 0.5 inches, with the entire length extending 3 inches (excluding the pin cap). The gold content has been verified using XRF (x-ray fluorescence) analysis and confirmed with jeweler’s acid testing, ensuring authenticity and quality. The piece weighs 2.45 grams.
