Victorian Replica Gold Nugget & Natural Diamond Tie Pin

196T
440 Admirers
Written by Olly Gerrish

A fine example of a gold rush tie pin. Jewellery from the Gold Rush Era is rare. Gold was used as currency, so most of what was discovered during this time was traded for horses, food, or property. Only the richest prospectors and merchants had enough gold to have it made into jewellery for their wives and families. In the rare instances when jewellery was created, nuggets were used as focal points as in this tie pin. It also has a diamond in its natural form. All our tie pins come with a stopper at the end of the pin.
