Both terminals of matching design, set with carved rubies and onyx, embellished by seed pearls and circular-cut diamonds, mounted in platinum, circa 1925.

Upon 10x loupe, there are surface abrasions and pits. Diamonds are about G to I colours, mostly VS clarity. Seed pearls are round to naked eyes, white colour with good surface lustre. Onyxes are generally in good condition. Condition: Vintage pin, shows signs of wear to metal, platinum mount with backings in 8 karat white gold, overall in good condition.
