This antique stick pin is set with a constellation of dreamy, moon-like opaline cabochons. Their ethereal blue glow gives way to delicate washes of peach and pink, complemented by the little gold studs and delicately twisted stem. Beautiful and sculptural, with an almost celestial, Sputnik-like silhouette.

There's something quite charming about how unusual and playful this design is, particularly for a piece of its age. It's a little quirky without losing any of its elegance, a lovely little find for anyone drawn to the more unusual side of antique jewellery.
