This 18k yellow gold and silver stickpin was originally worn in a man's cravat, the predecessor of the necktie. It depicts the head of a fox, studded with tiny cabochon-cut turquoise, and little garnet eyes.
This stickpin could be converted into a pendant for a small extra fee if desired: feel free to reach out if you would like to discuss this option.
