14K Yellow Gold Griffin Stickpin By J. Solinger & Co.

Mythological fantasy takes elegant form in this 14K yellow gold griffin stickpin, signed J. Solinger & Co. The winged creature holds a luminous 1.8 mm seed pearl in its beak, its arched neck and curling body forming an open silhouette beneath outstretched wings. Finely delineated feathers and textured gold bring definition to the miniature figure, while the pearl provides a soft contrast to the warm yellow gold.

An imaginative accent for a lapel, tie, or scarf, this turn-of-the-century stickpin combines the intrigue of a mythical creature with the delicate proportions of a small jewel.
