Antique 14K Victorian Blue Enamel Fleur De Li Pin



A truly beautiful antique Victorian enameled gold pin. A stylized fleur de lis. 
It is unmarked but tested 14K gold. Unmarked, but acid tested. The cobalt or 
navy blue guilloche enamel is so deep and rich. It has a tube type hinge and 
a simple C clasp. All in working order. The craftsman ship and artistry that 
went into the making of this piece is so amazing. It dates to C1870. 

Measurements: 
1 1/2" by 1 1/2"

Weight:
4.0 dwt 
6.2 grams

Condition: 
----There is some loss of enamel on the piece. 
----There is a small bump on the back. I don't know if there was perhaps a loop there 
at one time. The back also has what I consider to be light surface scratches.
