The head is modelled as a mythical dragon in three dimensions — the body hand-engraved with a refined satin finish that gives the goldwork a naturalistic, scaled texture — with the dragon's jaws clasping an old cut diamond. At 5.4g with a head of 1.9 × 1.4cm and a pin length of 6.5cm, this is a stickpin of exceptional scale and presence. Hallmarked with French assay marks for 18ct gold.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA tour de force of Belle Époque goldsmithing — the dragon is one of the great mythological subjects of the Art Nouveau period, and a hand-engraved French example of this weight and quality with a diamond-set jaw is a stickpin of real rarity and importance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eThe Details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e French\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCirca:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1880\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMetal:\u003c\/strong\u003e 18ct yellow gold (hand-engraved, satin finish)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStone:\u003c\/strong\u003e Old cut diamond (clasped in dragon's jaws)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5.4g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHead Dimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.9 × 1.4cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePin Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6.5cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHallmarks:\u003c\/strong\u003e French assay for 18ct gold\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Wildsmith Jewellery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58406194905472,"sku":null,"price":2500.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0273\/2127\/0385\/files\/Matthew_Wildsmith_July_2026_-_139_copy_6_81863d94-4818-435f-86bf-31d8e9993051.jpg?v=1784820680","url":"https:\/\/wildsmithjewellery.co.uk\/it\/products\/french-art-nouveau-18ct-gold-dragon-stickpin-with-old-cut-diamond-5-4g-c-1880","provider":"Wildsmith Jewellery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
