A charming vintage stock pin, modeled in 14k yellow gold, by Cartier. This pin is features a beautifully-carved three dimensional fox mask. This fox is expressive and finely detailed, with naturalistic fur and faceted ruby eyes. The fox mask is welded to the centermost point of the stock pin. A stock tie is part of traditional equestrian dress. Originally this neckwear would double as an impromptu bandage, should a horse (or her rider) be injured during a hunt the stock pin served as an ornament, but could also secure that bandage, if necessary. This charming old pin is marked for the maker Cartier; additional marks (including a number) are present but they are obscured by the weld. This would be a wonderful gift for someone who rides or shows horses, or for anyone who identifies with the wily and resilient fox!
