This unusual Antique Operculum Gentleman's Tie Pin has wonderful color and depth. The domed operculum is a rich Golden Amber with a hint of dark Green and Cream and is carefully mounted on a gilt bezel set mount. An operculum is a part of a sea shell and is sometimes called Pacific Cat's Eye.
Because of it's mysterious coloring, eye-like appearance and natural cabochon shape it was very desirable in jewelry from the Victorian era, pieces are extremely collectable. {While this is meant to be a man's tie pin, it is just as happy attached to the lapel of your new French Coat, too!} Decorative and fantastic addition to your jewelry collection, or to present as a luxury gift.
