Antique Carved Moonstone Face & Diamond Stick Pin in 14K Yellow Gold and Silver

A whimsical and highly collectible antique stick pin featuring a beautifully carved moonstone face framed by sparkling old-cut diamonds. The expressive moonstone carving depicts a smiling cherubic face, a popular motif during the late Victorian and Edwardian eras, when celestial and sentimental jewelry designs were especially fashionable.

The moonstone displays a soft, ethereal glow with subtle flashes of blue and lavender, creating a dreamlike appearance that complements the charming facial carving. Surrounding the moonstone is a delicate halo of old-cut diamonds set in 10K white gold, while a diamond-set bow accent beneath the face adds elegance and movement to the design.

The pin shaft is crafted in 14K yellow gold, creating a striking contrast between the warm gold and the cool-toned white gold setting. This unusual combination of materials and craftsmanship makes the piece an exceptional addition to any antique jewelry collection.

Figural moonstone jewelry became popular during the late Victorian and Edwardian periods, often incorporating celestial themes, faces, cherubs, and crescent moons. These imaginative designs were prized for their symbolism and artistry and remain highly sought after by collectors today.
