SOLD - Antique Victorian Gold Maltese Cross Stick Pin & Original Box

A charming antique yellow gold Maltese cross stick pin, beautifully crafted and rich in symbolism. At the heart of the cross sits a sparkling old mine cut diamond, framed by vibrant blue guilloché enamel that shimmers beneath the light, creating a striking contrast against the warm gold setting.

The Maltese cross has long been associated with honour, courage and protection, making this an especially meaningful jewel. Delicately proportioned, the cross measures just 8.5mm across, demonstrating the exceptional craftsmanship often found in late Victorian and Edwardian stick pins.

Adding considerably to its desirability, the pin remains housed in its original fitted tooled leather presentation box. The interior features a cream velvet pad and silk-lined lid printed in gold:

"Reid & Sons, Goldsmiths and Jewellers to the Queen and Prince of Wales, Newcastle upon Tyne"

Such original retailer's boxes are increasingly scarce and provide a wonderful connection to the jewel's history and provenance. Whether worn traditionally as a cravat pin, tie pin or lapel ornament, this elegant piece offers a refined way to wear a touch of antique luxury.
