Out of all my stick pins this is my favorite. She is beautifully detailed with green enamel upon the flowers that surround her face, black enamel for her eyes and eyebrows as well as a soft touch of pink to her cheeks and lips. The center of her forehead is encrusted with a single diamond that accentuates the stick pin wonderfully. Set in 10kt gold.
I bought the stick pin this summer through an online auction with about 14 other stick pins.
