Vintage Gold-Tone and Opal Cluster Stick Pin

This is a vintage stick pin featuring a decorative floral motif at the base of a long, slender metal shaft. The decorative head consists of a clustered floral or grape-like arrangement of seven oval-shaped cabochon opals. These stones exhibit characteristic play-of-color, showing faint flashes of green and yellow against a milky white body color. The opals are secured in prong settings on a gold-tone metal frame. Directly below the stones are two textured, gold-tone leaves with finely stippled surfaces, joined at a looped stem base. The pin's shaft is capped with a removable cylindrical gold-tone clutch or protector to cover the sharp pointed end. The metal appears to be a gold-colored base metal or possibly gold-filled, though no hallmark is visible in the provided image. The construction suggests a mid-20th-century origin, likely between 1950 and 1970. The condition appears fair to good; there is some visible oxidation or wear to the gold finish on the shaft and the protector cap. The opals appear intact without major fractures, though surface dirt is present in the crevices of the setting.
