An unusual and whimsical Victorian tie pin, certain to attract attention!

Created in 9 carat gold, the pin is topped with a remarkably detailed carving of a devil's head, fashioned from richly coloured tiger's eye. The natural golden brown bands of the stone lend the face an almost lifelike quality, with the shifting chatoyancy creating movement as it catches the light.

The carving is beautifully executed, full of expression and personality. Adding further charm, the devil's eyes are set with tiny rose cut diamonds, which provide a subtle sparkle and bring the figure vividly to life.

Victorian jewellery was often far more playful and imaginative than many realise, with novelty pieces becoming increasingly popular during the latter half of the 19th century. This tie pin is a wonderful example of that creativity, blending fine craftsmanship with a sense of humour and individuality.
