Description

A large oval tie pin with black onyx with a white band made in the 1860s-1880s. The craftsmanship to get the white band level was a skill in itself and was admired greatly by the Victorians. Black and white onyx was rare and expensive at the time too, and a sought after after material for mourning jewellery in mid-19th century England. Jewellery of this period was often melancholy and this reflected Queen Victoria's sadness at the loss of her beloved Prince Albert.

 

The darkness of the stone looks superb against a colourful silk tie.

 

All our pins come with a stopper.

Order FAQs

Do you offer layaway? Can I pay in instalments?

Yes! We have different ways of doing layaways.

Paypal is most popular or via bank transfer. We try to be as flexible as possible, so if you tell us what you need, we will agree the layaway terms on a case by case basis with you.

We usually offer a PayPal invoice over the period of 3 months, but can happily extend to 6 months if needed. We do not charge interest for instalment payments. Paypal invoice allows you to pay a partial payment whenever is convenient for you.


A 20% up front, non refundable, deposit is required to hold the item, and this counts towards the item total. Payment is then made over the following weeks and the final payment must be made by the agreed end date.

Please note, items bought on layaway are returnable, but the deposit is non refundable. Items are shipped once payment is completed. If payment is not made within the agreed time frame, we will try to work with you to agree a solution, but reserve the right to refund your money (bar the deposit) and re-list the item Please contact us directly to discuss further.

Yes, we provide a Parkin & Gerrish certificate with your purchase.

Some of our higher end jewellery will come with accredited gemological/diamond certification from a lab. If it does, it will be mentioned in the description. If it has not been lab certified, it is possible to provide such a certificate from a reputable London gemological lab.

The history of tie pins

Tie Pins are also known as Stick Pins. They were first popularised in the early 19th Century by the English Gentleman. They can be worn in a numerous ways: cravats, ties or on a jacket collar (lapel). They are the perfect gift for the gentleman who wishes to glam up his look for a wedding or for the races.

A tie pin is a long pin, worn vertically with a decorative top. The pin can be straight or a twisted section (for extra security). All our tie pins come with a protective cap (stopper) to place over the pointed end to help keep the pin in place and to stop you getting spiked!
