Antique Griffin Pin of 14k Gold

This antique brooch (circa 1890–1900) features a finely detailed griffin rendered in rich 14k gold, its form adorned with diamonds, emeralds, and a single ruby eye that adds a fiery touch of life. The griffin—a mythical guardian combining the strength of a lion and the vigilance of an eagle—was a powerful symbol in Victorian jewelry, representing courage, protection, and divine strength.

The brooch measures 1.1 inch by 1.2 inches across and weighs 6.59 grams. The gold content has been verified through XRF (x-ray fluorescence) analysis and traditional jeweler’s acid testing, ensuring purity and integrity.

In great condition, this jewel exemplifies the imaginative craftsmanship of the late 19th century, making it both a statement piece and a meaningful addition to any fine collection of antique jewelry.

Materials: 14k gold, Emerald, Diamond, Ruby.
