Antique Edwardian 1910s 14K platinum-topped gemstone bar pin
A stunning turn-of-the-century bar pin in its original box. While I believe that this piece was imported (the hallmarks appear to be Dutch), it was sold in America by William Friswell Jewelers in Norwich, CT. The lithe design pre-dates the Art Deco Era. A thin (1.2mm x 2.4mm) squared-off bar of platinum-topped gold runs the length of the pin, supporting little scalloped cups at either ends to hold a pearl. A pair of oblique-set gemstones cling to the bar near the center. A .50 carat Old European Cut diamond set in platinum and a .60 carat natural sapphire set in gold. Catch and safety lever closure. A beautiful pin for a lapel or tie! Also, a versatile piece to pass down or reimagine, thanks to the beautiful gemstones. Note: This piece comes with a jewelry appraisal for insurance/replacement. The appraisal is set at $3700. Measurements: 2 1/2" end to end, 4.0g Gemstone details: (1) .50 carat Old European Cut diamond, VS1/N, (1) .60 carat natural sapphire slightly included Med-Dark Violetish Blue and (2) 3mm pearls Era: 1910s Markings: Obscured hallmarks, tests for 14K gold
