Date 1895 15ct Gold & Seed Pearl Lucky Horseshoe Stick Pin

An antique late Victorian 'lucky' horseshoe stick pin in wonderful 15ct yellow gold. It is relatively unusual for a stick pin to have a full hallmark, but this one does; for Chester 1895, and made by Henry Griffiths & Sons of Birmingham. The Pearls are split Natural Sea Pearls and would most likely have come from the oyster beds at the Gulf of Mannar in what was then Ceylon. 

A lovely gift, the whole measures just over two inches in length.
