Victorian 15ct Gold Pearl and Ruby Cluster Tie Pin feed-condition-used designed to be threaded fromA charming Victorian tie pin in 15ct gold, designed as a delicate cluster of seed pearls surrounding a central ruby. The decorative goldwork, with its scalloped edges and scrolling details, gives the piece a rich texture and depth. Pearls were a favourite in the 19th century, symbolising purity, wisdom, and the moons light, while rubies were treasured as the stone of passion and protection, believed to bring courage and vitality to the wearer.
