Gold/pearl pin with toothpick/earspoon on chain, 1800s, South American. 19.17 grams, the pin 4", the pick 2" and the chain 12-1/2" long. One element of this grand piece is something familiar to Spanish shipwreck enthusiasts: a scimitar-shaped combination toothpick and earspoon, with small but high-grade rubies in sides and loop on edge for connecting via a long, fine-link, thin chain (after a couple natural black pearls) to the other piece, which looks like a hatpin topped with one large and one small natural black pearls, 100% intact and undamaged, clearly once the property of someone rich and important.
