This delicate stickpin is shaped like a crown with a dangling anchor below. The crown is studded with a combination of emeralds and rose-cut diamonds, and from the rose-cut-encrusted anchor dangles a tiny, tear-shaped emerald.
The pin is still housed in its original box, stamped on the inside with the Parisian jeweler René Bouvet.
The anchor is fitted with a jump ring that wasn't soldered, so it can be removed and worn as a separate pendant on occasion.
