Vintage Japanese Carnelian Guard Pin | Deep Red Cabochon

A charming vintage Japanese guard pin featuring a deep oxblood-red carnelian cabochon — smooth, translucent and richly coloured, with a beautiful wine-red glow when caught by the light.

❤️ Fun fact: Carnelian has been treasured since antiquity. Ancient Egyptians associated its warm red-orange colour with life, vitality and protection, while Romans famously used carnelian for engraved signet rings because wax does not readily stick to its smooth surface.

• Story: A stone with thousands of years of use in jewellery, seals & talismans
• Craftsmanship: Highly polished domed cabochon held in a sculptural claw setting + articulated guard chain
• Material: Carnelian + silver-tone hardware; exact metal unverified
• Era: Vintage Japanese jewellery, likely late 20th century
• Styling: Perfect through a silk scarf, tie, lapel, collar or pocket — a tiny jewel that adds a sophisticated flash of deep red.
