Rakish Sapphire & Pearl Studded Gold Rapier Pin
In the late 1800s sword-shaped cravat pins were all the rage. Alas, it is no longer popular to wear cravats; however, swords are always in style. This rakish rapier pin is made of 14k gold, with an elaborate pearl-studded grip and guard. A single sapphire accents the elaborate hilt. The blade sheathes itself in a gold scabbard to secure the pin. The scabbard hangs from a short chain. Circa 1890.
Details..... The pin measures 3.35" long, the hilt is 1.16" by 0.96", the scabbard is 1.15" and the chain is 3" long. In Very Good Antique Condition. You should always expect some wear on vintage and antique jewels; we consider it part of the charm.
