Absolutely stunning piece, this gorgeous Victorian stick pin is adorned with the likes of pearls, a ruby, a sapphire and a diamond. This central trefoil is framed by a crescent moon, representing new beginnings and female empowerment in the Victorian language of symbolism. The nine seed pearls are well matched, with a beautiful lustre to them. The topper is crafted in 18 carat gold, bright and shiny, the pin in a rose gold yellow metal.

The floral or lucky clover motif takes is form centrally, with two beautiful leaves either side the stem and the trefoil studded by a ruby, an old cut diamond and a sapphire.
