"Double Pin In Gold, Cameo End Of The Eighteenth Century"

An old late 18th century double pin in 18K Gold set with a shell cameo, the other part is surmounted by a cube chiseled with foliage on each side. The two pins are connected by a chain. This type of jewelry was worn to close the shirt and not to adorn the tie. ## Hallmark: eagle's head / is surely posterior to the jewel. A silversmith's stamp (illegible) Length: 4.5 cm and 5 cm Weight: 2.6 gr Very good condition Comes in an old gray velvet and leather case. ## Alexandre Dumas meanwhile, under his tie wrapped several times around his neck, as fashion demanded in 1821, closed his pleated shirt with two jewel buttons… the buttons are sometimes replaced by two pins joined by a chain.
