Two Gold Jewellery Items, Comprising an Amethyst Bar Brooch 15ct and an Edwardian Equestrian Stick Pin 9ct - This lot comprises two items of gold jewellery: an amethyst bar brooch and an Edwardian equestrian-themed stick pin. The bar brooch features a central oval-cut purple gemstone, likely an amethyst, measuring approximately 8mm by 6mm. The gemstone is secured in a rub-over bezel setting decorated with a fine milgrain edge, mounted upon a simple tapered bar of rose-tinted yellow gold. The brooch is secured on the reverse by a hinged metal pin and a traditional C-clasp. Although the mark is rubbed it appears to be 15ct gold. The Edwardian stick pin is designed with an equestrian motif, featuring a detailed horseshoe and a whip with an attached safety chain. Crafted from 9 carat yellow gold, the reverse of the horseshoe is stamped with hallmarks. These include the maker's mark C.B.L (possibly for Charles Benjamin Lyon), the gold purity marks 9 and .375, the anchor symbol for the Birmingham Assay Office, and the date letter k, which dates the piece to 1909. The pin shank is straight with a spiralled section to assist with grip. Amethyst bar brooch weight: 2.48g Stick pin weight: 0.95g.
