Description: Hallmarked 18K gold and attributed to Van Cleef and Arpels or VC & A. When we purchased this pin as part of a major estate offering, we were told it was purchased in St. Moritz. After purchasing this pin, we took it to VC&A for verification. We were informed that the workmanship, style and quality of the stones assured them that definitely, this pin was theirs. Please note, at that time in history there were two VC &A shops, one in Paris and one in St. Moritz. One owned and operated by one brother and one owned and operated by another brother. In addition, we were informed that sometimes pieces from the St. Moritz store did slip by without their hallmark of VC & A. NYC's VC&A believe this pin to be one of those pieces though since it has the French 18K gold stamp but no VC&A stamp we cannot claim that officially. The detailing is magnificient. The cabachon sapphire is superb and the channel ruby settings on the skis are as masterful as they are amazing. He is also wearing platinum socks and his scarf and cap have pave set diamond stones in addition to more plat. detailing. The quality of this treasure is as rare as it is masterful. Such feelings of movement and action can only be created by master jewelers. We price this jewel for the wonderful qualilty that it is and for the treasure it stands for on it's own. If it did have the VC &A hallmarks, one could only imagine the price it would be. An honor to offer such a memorable gem. Circa 1950 and well, it's off to the races for us and maybe for you too!
