Antique 18K Gold Floral Stick Pin Chrysanthemum Victorian Hand Engraved 2.2g


2.2g of solid 18K gold. This is beautiful beyond belief and pictures don't do it justice. An exquisite antique stick pin featuring a delicately sculpted chrysanthemum bloom rendered in solid 18K gold, marked "K18" on the reverse. The design highlights extremely layered beauty and depth - layered petals, curled buds, and engraved foliate details - all hand-finished in high relief. Motif: Detailed chrysanthemum with full bloom and smaller buds, surrounded by curved, veined leaves. Gold Content: Solid 18K yellow gold, confirmed by the "K18" hallmark. Style/Finish: Hand-chased and engraved with a slightly matte, age-warmed gold tone.
Stick: Original twisted shaft (not replaced or converted); sharply finished tip and uniform twist pattern indicative of period workmanship. Clearly marked "K18" on the reverse, suggesting possible Japanese or European export origin for the gold, though the style remains Anglo-American Victorian. Length: 2.5 inches (63.5 mm). Width (floral head): 0.6 inches (15.2 mm). Fine detail remains visible in petals and leaves, suggesting minimal wear.
The gold retains its original patina without polishing or restoration.
