This certainly has all the bells and whistles of a George Steere pin, but it does not have the GNS hallmark.
George Steere, who was out of Rhode Island used lizards, snakes and other creatures on his pieces and they were made from 1906-1911.
It measures 3 1/8" long. It has a "c" style clasp that needs to be adjusted as it does not stay in locked position. It should be an easy fix by a jeweler or if you trust yourself to use a needle nosed pliers. Very typical of these pieces.
I didn't want to chance trying to repair it.
The bottom of bezel has a slight bend and the stone has a chip at the end. View 4th and 5th photo. There is some edge wear to a few of the rhinestone facets, but it is hard to notice when worn. This all sounds terrible, but as you can see because the chip is at the bottom of the stone, it is hard to notice and still a simply a gorgeous piece and the flaws do not take away from the beauty. It is priced accordingly, as these pieces are very pricey.
Please be sure to view all photos.
