A beautiful rolled gold/gold filled antique Victorian stock pin brooch decorated on the front in a shamrock set in heart shaped purple amethysts. In the form of a stylized riding crop this is a fancier version of the equestrian's traditional 'nappy pin' style stock pin. The shamrock is set on a tube which slides along the pin so you can position it perfectly.
A charming equestrian piece and a classic good luck token that is equally at home on the cravat, tie or lapel.
