Early 20th Century 10ct Gold Cornflower Sapphire & Seed Pearl Tie Pin feed-condition-used Apollo appropriated the laurel forDelicate and symmetrical, this charming round tie pin is set with alternating cornflower blue sapphires and creamy seed pearls, held in a fine openwork frame of 10ct gold. The palette is light and fresh with gentle blues and soft lustre, beautifully arranged in a jewel of quiet refinement. 10ct gold was commonly used in the United States and parts of Canada during the early 20th century, a practical and popular standard just above the British 9ct.
