Antique Griffin or Dragon Stickpin of 14k Gold

This antique griffin stickpin (circa 1910–1920) is a finely detailed jewel, crafted in 14k gold and designed with a mythical griffin or dragon coiled around a single luminous pearl, clasped delicately in its tail. The griffin—a legendary guardian symbolizing strength, vigilance, and protection—was a popular motif in Edwardian and Art Nouveau jewelry, prized for both its artistry and symbolic resonance.

The griffin measures 0.6 inches from top to bottom by 0.75 inches wide, while the total length of the pin extends to 2.75 inches. The gold content has been verified through XRF (x-ray fluorescence) analysis and traditional jeweler’s acid testing, ensuring authenticity and quality.

In excellent condition, this stickpin exemplifies the mythological elegance of early 20th-century design—a rare and collectible jewel for connoisseurs of antique gold and symbolic motifs.
