Victorian 15ct Gold Pearl and Ruby Cluster Tie Pin feed-agegroup-adult iridescent tonesA 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.
