A refined antique stickpin (circa 1890-1900), crafted in 10 karat gold and featuring the classical profile of Hermes (Mercury). The finely rendered visage reflects the enduring influence of Greco-Roman mythology in late 19th-century jewelry, with Hermes—messenger of the gods—symbolizing eloquence, travel, and commerce.
The pin head measures 0.75 inches by 0.4 inches wide, with the entire stickpin measuring 2.6 inches in length and weighing 1.18 grams, offering a delicate yet distinctive presence when worn.
It is presented in great antique condition, with details crisp and surfaces well preserved.
The piece may be purchased in its original stickpin form, or we can convert it into a wearable charm or pendant for an additional charge, providing versatile styling options.
Metal authenticity has been professionally verified using XRF (X-ray fluorescence) analysis and traditional jeweler’s acid testing, confirming solid 10K gold construction. A classic and collectible example of antique classical revival jewelry.
