Antique Diamond Griffin Stickpin of 10k Gold

A striking example of late 19th-century symbolism and craftsmanship, this antique stick pin (circa 1890–1900) features a powerful griffin — a legendary guardian creature symbolizing courage, strength, and protection — expertly coiled around a sparkling old European cut diamond. Handcrafted in 10k gold, the piece embodies the bold, imaginative design sensibilities of the Victorian era.

The pin head measures approximately 0.6 inches high by 0.7 inches wide, while the entire piece extends to 2.4 inches in length. Weighing 1.92 grams, it remains in great antique condition, a testament to the enduring quality and artistry of its period.

The gold has been professionally tested using X-ray fluorescence (XRF) analysis and traditional acid testing, confirming its 10k fineness.

This versatile jewel can be enjoyed in its original form as a classic stick pin — ideal for a lapel, cravat, or hat — or, upon request, it can be professionally converted into a charm for a bracelet or necklace for an additional charge, offering a modern way to wear this remarkable Victorian treasure.
