9x1.3 cm. 3.54x0.51 in. This elegant stick pin, available in silver and in gold plated silver, is an adaptation of a gold dress pin from Magna Graecia, topped with a pomegranate above a spiral collar with wavy granulations (Ca. 400 B.C.E.). The pomegranate, frequently mentioned in the Bible, is counted among the seven species of fruit with which the Holy Land is blessed. The abundance of seeds makes it a symbol of fertility.
