Very pretty 18k gold pin from the mid Victorian Period c. 1870 is formed of a hollow shield-shaped body etched with a wavy pattern, tiny starbursts and decorative trim.  The top has a stylized ribbon surmounted that is decorated with taille d'Epergne enamelling and is set with two grey seed pearls.  This is a fine example of the etching that was typical of the period.  The back has a C-clasp and tube hinge and also has a hole that likely held a hook or loop to have it serve as a pendant.  Measures 1 3/16” wide by 7/8” tall.
