This antique sword pin is a finely crafted piece featuring a striking combination of goldwork, enamel, and pearls. The handle and dragon-shaped cap are made of 18-karat yellow gold, while the blade is crafted in 14-karat yellow gold. Light blue enamel decorates the hilt, adding a soft contrast to the yellow gold. A sash of seed pearls is set across the knuckle guard, enhancing the decorative appeal. The highlight of the design is the detailed dragon cap, which appears as though the blade is piercing through it—an unusual and eye-catching feature. The pin measures just over 3.5 inches in length and is equipped with a traditional pin stem and clasp. It is in excellent antique condition with fine attention to detail throughout.
