Antique Carved Tiger's Eye Face Stickpin of 10k Gold

Mysterious and finely crafted, this antique stickpin (circa 1880) features a hand-carved face rendered in golden-brown tiger’s eye—a stone revered for its captivating chatoyancy and protective symbolism.

The expressive carving is mounted on a 10k gold pin stem, creating a piece that balances Victorian sentimentality with bold naturalism. This stickpin exemplifies the intricate craftsmanship and symbolic detail so prized in 19th-century jewelry.

The carved head measures approximately 0.7 inches by 0.5 inches wide, with a total pin length of 2.7 inches. It weighs 3.16 grams and remains in great antique condition with minimal surface wear.

The gold content has been verified using XRF (X-ray fluorescence) analysis and jeweler’s acid testing, ensuring its authenticity and quality.

This piece may also be converted into a custom charm or pendant upon request for an additional charge, making it a versatile addition to any antique jewelry collection.
