Antique Enamel Violet Stickpin of 14k Gold

A delicate antique stickpin dating to 1890–1900, designed as a finely detailed violet crafted in 14 karat gold, adorned with soft pale pink and purple enamel and centered with a luminous pearl. The violet, long associated with modesty, faithfulness, and affection, was a beloved floral motif in Victorian jewelry, lending the piece both symbolic meaning and timeless charm.

The pin head measures 0.6 inches by 0.5 inches wide, with the entire stickpin measuring 2.5 inches in length and weighing 1.67 grams, offering a refined and graceful presence when worn. It is presented in good antique condition, with one small chip to the enamel on the bottom petal near the pearl. This is only visible upon extremely close inspection.

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.

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 solid 14K gold construction.
