Victorian Dragon Stickpin of 14k Gold

A Victorian-era stickpin dating to 1890, featuring a finely crafted 14K gold dragon holding a pearl in its jaws. Dragons have long held symbolic significance in mythology, representing strength, protection, and good fortune. The lustrous pearl provides a delicate contrast to the sculptural gold dragon, creating a compelling combination of mythical symbolism and refined Victorian jewelry design.

The pin head measures approximately 0.6 inches by 0.5 inches wide, with the entire stickpin measuring 2.3 inches long. It weighs 1.19 grams and remains in great antique condition. We are offering the option to purchase this piece as a stickpin or, for an additional charge, have our jeweler thoughtfully convert it into a wearable charm.

Metal authenticity was professionally verified using XRF (X-ray fluorescence) analysis and traditional jeweler’s acid testing to confirm the 14K gold construction.
