Antique Dragon Stickpin of 10k Gold

Antique stickpin dating to 1900 featuring a finely detailed dragon crafted in 10K gold and coiled around a pearl. Dragon motifs enjoyed popularity during the late Victorian and early Edwardian periods, prized for their association with strength, protection, and the era's fascination with mythical and exotic subjects.

The pin head measures approximately 0.6 inches by 0.7 inches wide. The entire pin measures 2.3 inches in length and weighs 1.52 grams. The piece remains in great antique condition with crisp detail throughout.

Gemstone identification has been confirmed using Raman spectroscopy, a non-destructive analytical technique that provides a precise chemical fingerprint to verify authenticity.

Metal authenticity has been professionally verified using XRF (X-ray fluorescence) analysis and traditional jeweler’s acid testing, confirming 10K gold construction.
