Antique 2 Carat Muzo Mine Colombian Emerald Diamond Stick Pin Platinum
A Rare Muzo Mine Emerald Jewel with French Platinum Hallmark
This exceptional antique stick pin showcases a rare approximately 2 carat Colombian emerald believed to originate from the legendary Muzo Mine, one of the most celebrated emerald sources in the world. Set in platinum and accented with diamonds, the piece combines refined antique craftsmanship with the extraordinary allure of a gemstone prized for its vivid green color, depth, and historic provenance.
The emerald is cut in an elegant rectangular shape, allowing its rich green body color to take center stage. Its saturated hue reflects the qualities for which Muzo Mine emeralds have long been admired: a vibrant, luminous green with remarkable presence. Framed in a geometric platinum setting, the stone is enhanced by diamond accents that add brightness without distracting from the emerald’s commanding beauty.
The design is architectural and sophisticated, with openwork detailing along the sides of the setting and a sleek platinum pin stem. The reverse bears a French dog’s head hallmark, a mark traditionally associated with platinum, further supporting the quality and European character of the jewel. The combination of platinum, diamond accents, and a rare Colombian emerald gives the piece a refined Art Deco sensibility, while its stick pin format makes it a distinctive collector’s jewel. It may be worn on a lapel, tie, scarf, or displayed as part of a curated antique jewelry collection.
What makes this jewel especially desirable is the emerald itself. A 2 carat Muzo Mine Colombian emerald is not merely a decorative stone; it is a gemstone with heritage, scarcity, and collector appeal. Colombian emeralds from Muzo have historically been among the most sought-after in the world, admired for their color quality and their association with some of the finest emerald deposits ever discovered.

How do I know a piece is authentic, and can I trust DSF?
Buying fine jewelry online takes trust, especially at this level. DSF Antique Jewelry is a New York–based dealer with over 50 years of fine jewelry expertise. Every piece is examined for authenticity and condition before it is listed — we assess hallmarks, maker's marks, metal content, gemstones, and construction consistent with the stated period or designer. For signed pieces such as Cartier, Buccellati, or Van Cleef & Arpels, we verify maker's marks and signatures. We're glad to send additional photographs of any hallmark, or speak with you directly, before you decide.
Why does antique gold look different, and is surface wear normal?
Antique pieces were often made in gold standards less common today, such as 15ct (used in Britain only between 1854 and 1932), 9ct, or higher-karat continental gold, which give a warmer tone than typical modern 14k. Light surface wear, softened edges, and a gentle patina are normal and expected on antique jewelry — they reflect the age and authenticity of the piece, not flaws. We describe the true condition of every item honestly in its listing.
What do the hallmarks and maker's marks mean?
Hallmarks are small stamped marks that identify the metal standard, and often the maker, assay office, and date. They are one of the best tools for authenticating antique jewelry. We identify and explain the marks we find on each piece in its description, and we're happy to send close-up photographs of any hallmark on request so you can see exactly what you're buying.
Can pieces be resized or adjusted?
It depends on the piece. Many antique rings can be resized, but bands with all-around engraving, thin shanks, or gemstones near the base may be limited in how far they can safely go, and some pieces are best left as-is to preserve their integrity. We list each item's measurements as they currently are. If you're unsure whether something can be safely adjusted, contact us before buying and we'll give you an honest assessment for that specific piece.
How should I care for and store fine jewelry?
Clean gently with a soft cloth, avoid harsh chemicals, ultrasonic cleaners, and chlorine, and store pieces separately so they don't scratch one another. Remove rings and bracelets for heavy manual tasks. Antique gold is softer than modern alloys, so period pieces are best enjoyed with normal care. Treated well, fine antique jewelry lasts for generations — many of our pieces are already a century or more old and still beautiful.
