Lot 1009 , Three stick pis and two hat pins.

Three assorted late 19th/early 20th century gold stick pins, to include, coral, moonstone and pearl and bloodstone sphere with gem set bug, 3.5in et infra, together with two hat pins, jadeite and gold and enamel, largest 6.25in.
Estimate £200-300

Unsure as to whether or not the jadeite has been stained. Used a distant spot reading using a refractometer and obtained a reading at 1.52-1.53 approximately, leading us to believe that it is moonstone.
