Stick pins, also known as tie pins or scarf pins, gained popularity in the Victorian era and remained fashionable through the early 20th century. They were used to secure neckties, scarves, and lapels, adding a touch of elegance and personality to both men's and women's attire. These pins often featured decorative elements such as gemstones, enamel work, or intricate metal designs. 

During the Victorian era, stick pins were often given as gifts to commemorate special occasions or to express affection. The materials used in their construction varied widely, ranging from base metals to precious metals like gold and silver. Gemstones, both precious and semi-precious, were frequently incorporated to enhance the pin's aesthetic appeal. The craftsmanship and design of stick pins reflected the prevailing artistic styles of the time, including Art Nouveau and Art Deco.
