About the Item
The unique vibrant green color of malachite is beautiful set in the gold or heavily gold cased setting of these cloak pins. Malachite has natural back stripes in the stone. When gold cased jewelry is heavily cased it tests as gold making it difficult to be exact about the gold content. The pins appear as 15 kt and I will call it that though the offering price is the same either way. The large of the two pins with the gem wrapped with a happy serpent. It is 9.5cm long. The small is 7cm long. The gold chain connecting the two gracefullydrapes between them. It is 34 cm long The weight is 15.25 grams. The pins are mid victorian c. 1850-1860. They are British or Scottish.
Malachite was a good health symbol in the Victorian Era. It was known too as a fertility stone. It's special characteristic is to aide someone in recovering from trauma. This dynamic gem is stunning on textures, plaids or solid color fabrics. The pins are in perfect condition
