Enamel Victorian Stick Pin | 1860 by: Anonymous
Hi, thanks for writing in.... enamel embellishments were very much in fashion in victorian jewelry around this time period. By the 1860's with the rapid spread of wealth the demand for jeweler of all kinds was expanding. This allowed jewellers to experiment not only with new techniques but also with new designs.
Domestic objects, animals, human heads of all races , wild conjunctions of the human and the animal were used and the jewellers who made stickpins seemed to let their fantasies run wild in these tiny works of art in a way that they could not in larger pieces of jewellery.
This is not however, Queen Victoria's Jubilee Year, which occurred 27 years later in 1887, to celebrate 50 years on the throne.
