The Denison - Victorian Era 14k Gold Glass Orb Stick Pin Antique

This antique stick pin features a meticulously crafted 14k yellow gold claw grasping a luminous glass orb, with intricate texturing that brings the talon-like design to life. Victorian in origin, this motif was often associated with protection, strength, and the act of safeguarding something cherished, giving the piece a sense of mysticism and deeper meaning. The claw’s firm grip and the orb’s ethereal glow evoke a powerful image of control and hidden knowledge, making this pin not just an adornment but a symbol of personal sentiment. Enhanced by a beautiful, darkened patina, the nearly black appearance of the gold adds a gothic allure, accentuating its age and rich history while creating a statement piece that appeals to those who value the unique and storied craftsmanship of the past
