a quirky, wonderful, victorian era tusk/tooth/claw artifact set in gold filled metal that at first sight fooled many a jeweler, but some extremely thorough acid testing revealed base metal it's a pin, but easily worn as a necklace extender, pendant, and more! M E A S U R E M E N T S  63mm from tip to tip x ~10.5mm at widest point pin measures ~35mm long weighs 5.5g — lightweight for its size C O N D I T I O N  in good antique condition the tusks are in nearly-perfect condition with no cracks or breaks, only a minor naturally occurring void/hole near the center bezel sash heavier scratches on the bezel panel from being acid tested VERY thoroughly to solve the mystery of whether it was heavy heavy gold filled or solid gold wear to the gold overlay on the pin mechanism there's no wiggle in the setting S H O P  A G R E E M E N T S please read the 'shop policies' section to understand this shop's shipping & exchange policies
