This vintage snail shell pin is crafted in 14K yellow gold, weighs 13.9g and measures 5cm long, 1.8cm wide and 2.0cm deep. Inspired by the late 19th century Victorian 'novelty jewelry', this alluring Vintage Pin portrays the immaculately sculptured profile of a snail beneath its spiral shaped shell. Rendered in textured yellow gold, this alluring vintage pin depicts the anatomically accurate profile of a land snail, constructed with the actual salmon-colored shell, measuring 1.8cm wide and 1.9cm high and two pairs of minor and major tentacles. The latter are mounted with a pair of full-cut emeralds, depicting mollusk eyes, cumulatively weighing 0.10cts, graded 'light green' color and 'fair' clarity. Novelty Victorian Jewelry was a distinct line of jewelry design characteristic of the 1860's and 1870's, based primarily on certain naivete and frivolousness. A 'novelty' par excellence, this line of design amused and suited an ephemeral whim of fashion. Novelty brooches were designed as rabbits biting a carrot or holding a turnip, chickens just emerging from diamond eggshells, kittens playing with a ball, snails exposing themselves out of their shells, and the like. The reverse of this stunning vintage snail pin is rendered in polished yellow gold and features a well-designed hinged pin and a retractable hook.
