Antique safety pin crafted in 9 carat gold. This stock pin is a super useful piece! Formed from 1.6 mm round wire, it's a simple and classic design and can be used for a variety of purposes. I use one to pin together a shawl or kimono. I find they also work well as chain extenders, putting the clasps into the open ends to make a chain quite a bit longer, or for the men, tie pins and collar pins. This particular example dates to circa late 19th century to very early 20th century, British in origin.

In excellent condition.

Marked 9ct for 9 carat gold, professionally tested and assessed as such. The antique gold is between rose and yellow gold, closer to rose in colour though not as red as modern rose gold.

Measures approx 46.5 mm / 1.85 inches in length by 8.10 mm / 0.33 inches tall and is crafted from 1.6 mm wire.
