Estate 14KT Yellow Gold Old Mine Cut Diamond, Sapphire & Pearl Stick Pin, Art Nouveau, ca. 1900

Crafted in 14kt yellow gold, this Art Nouveau estate stick pin dates to circa 1900 and is set with an old mine cut diamond, H-I color and SI2 clarity, weighing 0.22 ct, alongside a round cut blue sapphire weighing 0.21 ct and a single pearl. The pin head measures 3/4 x 1/2 inch, with a total length of 2 1/5 inch and a weight of 1.64 grams.

The old mine cut, a precursor to the modern round brilliant, features a high crown, small table, and cushion-like outline, faceted by hand to maximize brilliance under candlelight rather than the electric lighting of today, giving it a distinctive warmth and soft sparkle prized by antique jewelry collectors. This piece dates to the turn of the century, straddling the artistic sensibilities of the Art Nouveau movement, which favored flowing, nature-inspired forms and a romantic mix of gemstones and pearls. Stick pins from this era were both a practical accessory, used to secure neckties, scarves, or lapels, and a subtle expression of personal style.

Elevate your jewelry collection with this Art Nouveau stick pin, a richly detailed and historically significant addition for collectors of antique jewelry. Its old mine cut diamond and mix of natural gemstones make it a captivating conversation piece as well as a thoughtful gift for an admirer of turn-of-the-century craftsmanship.
