Jewelry - Stick Pin Collection

52 Weeks of Pix 2016

Week 26 of 52

Theme: Jewelry

 

This week's entry is an image of my modest stick pin / tie pin collection.

 

After my grandmother gave me my granddad's stick pin before she died, I developed an interest in this item of men's jewelry. Then when going through my mother-in-law's things following her death, my wife found her grandfather's stick pin. Well, a collection then seemed inevitable.

 

I've featured the two grandfather's stick pins previously, which are by far the most modest, but most meaningful, in the collection. So here is the rest; a more flamboyant group.

 

Most stones are probably fake, but are too small to warrant an appraisal. So for me, the group is more a grouping of miniature art works than a thing of great value.
