Antique 9 carat gold safety pin. This simple 9k gold safety pin is made from a medium gauge 1 mm rounded wire. It's an older style which is sprung at one end to allow it to catch in it's clasp and secure the sharp end. Antique safety pins have a variety of modern uses from being a simple brooch to securing a shawl or scarf (perfect for those winter months!) or on the end of a chain to lengthen it and give a place to secure charms. This is a very small pin, I'd probably wear it as a pendant. Circa early 20th century, British in origin.

Stamped 9ct, professionally tested and assessed as 9 carat gold, which is yellow in colour.

Measures approx 22 mm / 0.85 inches long by 5.6 mm / 0.22 inches tall.
