A magnificent stickpin from the Edwardian (ca1910s) era! Crafted in 18kt yellow gold, this stickpin adorns a masterfully carved Opal in the shape of a pharaoh's head. The incredible opal displays a phenomenal rainbow gradient, and its coloring is so vibrant that the piece appears to glitter! The handsome, detailed face and traditional Egyptian nemes headwear glow as light passes through its gold frame, stamped "18K" on the backside.

A simple stick pin with spiral detail completes the design, ready to be worn on a favorite outfit. This stickpin is a gorgeous piece, and it would be an impressive addition to any Edwardian collection.
