This classic Art Nouveau stick pin is centered by a round amethyst, birthstone for February.

There is a seed pearl above and one below, all mounted in a (marked and tested) 14kt “whiplash” frame (the whiplash motif was very popular with Nouveau designers). Measuring 1/2” x 2-1/4" long, it weighs 1.5g. It has an illegible maker’s mark...

The rose gold (it was very hard to photograph the color accurately) tests at about 12k. I...
