Stick Pin, about 1900

This stick pin was likely used by a man because of the dark, rather heavy piece of lapis lazuli set into it.These pieces were used by gentlemen primarily to catch and keep the tails of the teck scarves, cravats, etc. together.This is quite plain and could date from a wide range of dates but most likely is from the late nineteenth century to early twentieth century, when these are most popular.
