Transitional Art Nouveau Art Deco Citrine Diamond Gold Stick Pin
A refined gold stick pin from the transitional period between Art Nouveau and Art Deco, centered with a triangular faceted citrine and accented by a bezel-set diamond. Its geometric architecture, openwork frame, and warm golden tones give the piece a distinctive early 20th-century character.
This elegant gold, citrine, and diamond stick pin captures the fascinating design shift from the flowing beauty of Art Nouveau jewelry to the sharper geometry of Art Deco design. The composition is built around a striking triangular citrine, its golden-orange tone echoing the warmth of the gold setting. Below the citrine, a small bezel-set diamond adds a refined point of brilliance, balancing the strong architectural form with a touch of classic fine jewelry detail.
The design is especially interesting for its transitional style. The openwork gold frame still carries the decorative grace associated with the late Art Nouveau period, while the triangular structure, stepped side details, and clean symmetry anticipate the bold geometry of the Art Deco era. This makes the piece appealing not only as a wearable jewel, but also as a small study in the evolution of early 20th-century jewelry design.
Stick pins were once essential accessories for refined dress, worn on cravats, lapels, scarves, or ties. Today, examples such as this are appreciated by collectors for their craftsmanship, versatility, and historical charm. The combination of citrine, diamond, and gold gives this jewel a warm yet sophisticated presence, suitable for collectors of antique and early modern jewelry.

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.
