Peace in Jewellery: The Baroque Pigeon Pin

A Baroque stick pin, circa 1680, showcases the exquisite artistry of the era. Crafted in 14K yellow gold, this piece features the enduring pigeon motif, a symbol of peace and the Holy Ghost. Adorned with eight rose-cut diamonds and a central pearl, flanked by strass mimicking rubies and emeralds, it embodies love and harmony. The pin's back, a later addition, reflects the jewel's evolving history. This piece encapsulates the rich symbolism and opulence characteristic of the Baroque aesthetic.
