A Collection of Six Antique and Victorian Sterling Silver and Gold-Tone Metal Stick Pins - This collection consists of six assorted antique and vintage stick pins featuring diverse motifs, metals, and stones. The group includes a religious Miraculous Medal pin crafted in sterling silver, featuring an oval head with an image of the Virgin Mary and the prayer O MARY CONCEIVED WITHOUT SIN PRAY FOR US WHO HAVE RECOURSE TO THEE, with the reverse marked STERLING. One pin features a hand-knapped arrowhead of translucent brownish-pink chalcedony or agate secured in a four-prong gold-tone mount. Another gold-tone metal pin has an oval head with an engraved cursive monogrammed letter E. The collection also contains an ornate gold-tone pin with scrollwork and fleur-de-lis inspired details centered by a clear faceted paste stone, as well as a solitaire pin with a clear faceted stone in a crown setting and a decorative twisted shaft. The final pin features a shield-shaped red stone, likely carnelian or glass, set in a gold-tone mount. All items are constructed with long, pointed shafts. The collection is in good antique and vintage condition. Visible wear includes surface scratches, tarnish, and oxidation to the metal surfaces consistent with age and previous use. Some shafts show minor bending. All stones appear to be securely set and present.
