Stick pins were a part of a gentleman's jewelry wardrobe in the Georgian era. This one, complete with its original coffin-shaped box, centers on cascading enamel ivy leaves and foiled garnets. Emily is always drawn to the hidden messages found within Georgian jewelry, and this small pin has a lot to say. Ivy symbolized eternity and endurance while garnets were code for love, romance, and protection while traveling. No doubt, this would make a poignant gift for a loved one who loves to time travel!
