Featured Another Victorian? Stick Pin Brooch ID

Since the pin set is French, it could also be used to fasten a lace cap.
An example halfway down this page, "paire d'épingles à coiffe" means 'pair of cap pins':

You have to love those outfits, especially the hats / caps.

 

French lace caps are wonderful, and a great diversity too.

 

@nology , I found a pair much like yours, also with two different pins, one with pearl dangles on chains.
The site won't let me copy or download the photo, but it is a bit down this page, the second set of pins after the first portrait:

It says these pins were worn on lace caps, shawls or kerchiefs.

(I am actually scouring this French site for one of my own pieces, which I haven't found yet.)

 

1838-1847 eagle's head first type

Great find! That's the closest to the one I found by far.

 

Thanks for that idea, it never occurred to me! I have a thread about my own set of unmarked chained cameo stickpins:

Most people don't immediately make the link between jewellery and traditional dress. Being a traditional dress aficionada, I do.

I remember that, beautiful.

 

Had a second Jeweler look at the piece. They confirmed it was 18k gold said it had a value of around $125 but couldn't tell me anything about the stones. On to the next to get the stones identified.

 

$125? Did they mean melt value?
As vintage/antique jewelry, I would have thought you could get more than that, if selling. But WDIK!

 

I'll take a stab at Pink Sapphire, no pun intended.
