{"product_id":"edwardian-18ct-gold-and-platinum-turquoise-and-diamond-tie-pin","title":"Edwardian 18ct Gold and Platinum Turquoise and Diamond Tie Pin","description":"\u003cp data-start=\"110\" data-end=\"407\"\u003eA finely made Edwardian tie pin, set with a vivid turquoise cabochon framed by diamond-set platinum leaves, the whole mounted on an elegant 18ct gold pin. Turquoise is a living stone and, historically, one that was carefully chosen. It is known to react to moisture, oils, and prolonged wear, often softening or turning green over time. The fact that this example has retained such a clear, luminous blue speaks both to the quality of the stone and to how carefully it has been worn and kept. In the Edwardian period, turquoise was prized for its colour and for its symbolism of protection and good fortune.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"863\" data-end=\"1215\"\u003eThe pin itself is made in solid 18ct gold. A detail worth noting, as many tie pins were fitted with base metal stems. Gold pins were reserved for finer examples intended for long-term wear. The pin is not hallmarked, which is entirely typical for tie pins of this date and construction, where marks were often omitted due to size and function.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1217\" data-end=\"1343\"\u003eA refined and elegant Edwardian jewel, understated but beautifully judged, and still remarkably fresh in colour and condition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1345\" data-end=\"1417\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003eEvery tie pin from Parkin \u0026amp; Gerrish is supplied with a secure stopper.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Parkin and Gerrish","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56711204929909,"sku":"119M","price":375.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0373\/3428\/6475\/files\/edwardian-18ct-gold-and-platinum-turquoise-and-diamond-tie-pin-3350900.jpg?v=1770663620","url":"https:\/\/parkinandgerrish.com\/de\/products\/edwardian-18ct-gold-and-platinum-turquoise-and-diamond-tie-pin","provider":"Parkin and Gerrish","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
