Stick Pins have been popular for well over 200 years, dating back to the 18th century, where they were worn by gentlemen of the establishment. As they became more popular, they began being worn by both men and women, either on lapels, ties, or scarves. Most of the later vintage designs were made between 1880-1920. Many of the major vintage jewelry designers made stick pins as part of their jewelry lines.
