French stick pin
A French stickpin consisting of a pearl on a base collar of tiny rose cut diamonds mounted in silver atop a gold twisted shaft pin bearing the number 3436, the French eagle head gold standard mark, first used in 1838, and a maker's mark "COM". I believe the pin was made before cultured pearls became available (after 1916); therefore, the pearl may have come from Kuwait, the South Seas or another source. I have not been able to identify the maker's mark.
