Superb 14k Gold ~.50ct Diamond Shriners Masonic Scimitar Crescent Lapel Pin

Description

Presented is an antique 14 karat yellow gold and natural diamond gemstone lapel pin or tie tack. This pin was made in America during the early 1900s. This is a Shriners pin featuring their emblem of a crescent above a star, with a curved scimitar behind. The star portion is securely bezel set with a large sparkling old mine cut diamond. The diamond measures approximately 5 millimeters in diameter. The diamond is at least 50 points or a 1/2 carat in size, probably more like 58 points, and is a fantastic quality stone of VVS to VS1 clarity and G/H color. The crescent portion is set with horn or a claw material perhaps, as you see sometimes on Shriners pieces, while the top of the crescent has a nicely detailed Egyptian sphinx or pharaoh head. The pin has a threaded back which unscrews so it can be worn on a buttonhole.
All parts are nitric acid tested and guaranteed to be 14 karat gold purity.
This piece is in excellent overall condition.
Width: 3/4 of an inch.
Weight: 2.7 grams.
