Stick Pin
Jewelry
Stick Pin in knotted form. The love knot motif was common in Victorian decoration, this one consisting of two strands in a tight knot. This is likely a gold-filled wire, as it is resisting tarnish the way brass would. The pin stem attaches to the center of the knot in the back. 2 5/8" long. 3/8" diameter
