History
Stick pins, also known as hat pins or tie pins, were popular accessories from the Victorian era through the early 20th century.

Coral stick pins are highly valued by collectors of Victorian and Edwardian jewelry, as well as enthusiasts of vintage accessories and natural gemstone jewelry. These pieces appeal to those who appreciate the craftsmanship of antique jewelry and the historical significance of coral as a decorative material.
