Stick Pin (France)
This is a stick pin. It is dated ca. 1867 and we acquired it in 1983. Its medium is fresh-water pearl, gold, enamel, diamonds. It is a part of the Product Design and Decorative Arts department.
Ancient Middle Eastern cultures were some of the first to value pearls. Pearl shell and pearl-adorned objects have been found at archaeological sites across the Roman Empire. From flatware handles to jewelry, designers have prized pearls as iridescent decorative accents for a variety of objects of utility and personal adornment for centuries.
