18k Gold Victorian Hardstone Cameo & Snake Stick Pin

$547.00
This is a rare and incredible antique early Victorian era hardstone stick pin! This is one of the finest I've ever come across and it has truly beautiful details. The center of the stick pin is a wonderfully carved black and white cameo of a man. Surrounding the cameo is a beautiful ouroboros snake with black enamel details. The imagery makes me think this may be a mourning piece depicting a particular individual. The entire pin is solid 18k gold!

The pin is unmarked, but tests for solid 18k gold and it's in very good vintage condition. The pin stem is slightly bent, but the cameo is in pristine condition. The pin weighs 1.17 grams.
