A sculptural and elegant tie pin dating to around 1915–1930, set with a richly coloured, inky-blue sapphire in a high claw setting of 18ct gold. The design evokes the organic curves of a flower and bud with the sapphire as a stylised bloom and a polished gold knop beside it suggesting a bud just beginning to open. It’s a quietly poetic detail, rendered in a restrained, modern way.

The sapphire, possibly of Australian origin, has that tell-tale depth and slightly moody character typical of stones mined during this period sought after for their richness and individuality, especially in British and colonial jewellery.

Elegant, expressive, and slightly enigmatic, this pin feels like a miniature sculpture balancing floral inspiration with early 20th-century sophistication.
