Stickpin Eighteenth Century The Victoria & Albert Museum |
I selected this today because I just think it's too, too nifty, and I love stickpins. The crest of the pin is set with rose-cut diamonds and rubies mounted in silver, and backed with gold.
It was made in England in the Eighteenth Century. And, well…that’s about all there is to say about this particular item. I think this is the sort of pin which Julian/Mr. Punch would have inherited and enjoyed wearing to fashionable, yet nerve-wrecking, events about the City of Westminster or with Robert strolling in he garden at Belgrave Square.
