Antique Rose Gold Faceted Amethyst Safety Pin Antiquaria

One of the things that I love best about antique jewelry and for that matter, antiques in general, is that before plastic and a disposable economy, people made things to last, and often they made everyday objects into little bits of daily luxury. A crystal perfume bottle, a silver handled mirror, a gold and amethyst safety pin.

This Victorian rose gold pin is in the vein of Scottish jewelry and could have easily been worn on a kilt or plaid. It is the perfect kind of brooch for the modern era, all those sweaters that come without buttons? Wear this along on your lapel and if you get it chill, you can close your Cardi with absolute style.

This wonderful pin is set with a sparkling round old cut amethyst which measures 9.4 x 9.1 x 6.8 and weighs about 2.8 carats. The pin is hand wrought in 9 karat gold with a rosy hue. This pin measures 51.8 mm long and 12.7 mm high and is unmarked, it has been carefully acid tested to verify the gold content and it weighs 4.7 grams.

Made in Victorian England, in about 1890-1900.
