14K Yellow Gold Old European Cut Diamond Bar Pin

This charming antique bar pin, crafted in 14K yellow gold, is a delicate example of early 20th-century jewellery design, likely dating from the Edwardian era (circa 1901–1915). The piece features three old European cut diamonds, known for their deep proportions and soft, romantic sparkle, each nestled in a finely crafted tiffany-style buttercup floral setting. The diamonds are arranged in a graceful bouquet-like formation, with two set on one side of the bar and a third on the opposite, joined by a textured gold stem that curls organically along the length of the bar, evoking the naturalistic motifs favored during this period. The structure of the pin includes two slender parallel horizontal bars, separated by a narrow open space, lending an airy, elegant balance to the design. On the reverse, the pin is secured by a long primary pin and a shorter secondary pin, a hallmark of antique bar pins from the Edwardian and late Victorian periods, used to keep the piece securely in place on fine fabrics. This pin has been left unpolished, allowing the original aged patina to remain, offering a sense of authenticity and history. The Edwardian era emphasized femininity, fine craftsmanship, and lightness in design—qualities that are beautifully captured in this piece. It would have likely been worn as a decorative accent on a blouse, high collar, or hat, and today it remains a graceful nod to timeless elegance and delicate detail.
