Victorian 9ct Gold Tie Pin Two Colour Gold Overlay Heart with Rose Motif feed-agegroup-adult Weighing an impressive 6 caratsA very special tie pin that is not only fully hallmarked (most unusual for tie pins), but is also an example of a rare and highly expensive jewellery making method where, they used two colours of gold to decorate (usually used on silver not gold). This was a very time consuming method, and shows how impressive these craftsmen were. This probably explains why it was assayed in Chester in 1898, as assaying a piece of jewellery was also expensive.
