Antique Seagull Stickpin of 18k Gold

A charming antique stickpin (circa 1900) featuring a seagull in flight finely rendered in 18K gold. The dynamic form captures the bird with its wings extended, giving the piece a sense of movement and liveliness. Bird and sporting motifs were popular in antique jewelry, particularly as figural designs that reflected an appreciation for the natural world and personal interests. The pin head measures approximately 0.5 inches by 1.1 inches wide, with the entire stickpin measuring approximately 2.7 inches in length. It weighs 3.10 grams and remains in great antique condition. Metal authenticity has been professionally verified using XRF (X-ray fluorescence) analysis and traditional jeweler’s acid testing, confirming solid 18K gold construction.
