A lovely late Victorian 14K yellow gold pin in the Art Nouveau taste. The outer gold rim, in a modified heart shape, encloses two sprigs of gold mistletoe, enameled in soft translucent shades of green and gold. Each pair of leaves flanks a 2-1/2 point prong-set old European cut diamond. The gold stems of the mistletoe are tied with a bit of gold ribbon. Though mistletoe is now generally associated with the Christmastide kissing tradition, the Victorian language of flowers used the plant to signify difficulties that have been overcome. A small brooch such as this might have been a gift for a lady following a trying period in her life. The back retains the original pinstem and clasp marked with Krementz’ hallmark and “14K”. Origin: America, ca. 1900. Condition: excellent, no enamel damage, all original. Size: 1” x 15/16”. Weight: 2.5 grams. |
