It is the size of a stiletto, and I'm unsure if that's what it is but with  a bent tip, or if it is a dainty crochet tambour or hook. It is as found, the trim and mount is 18k, no loss to the halo of tiny seed pearls which surround what is likely a garnet but I did not test the stone. Dates latest 1700s to perhaps 1830s at latest. I have only rarely seen gem-studded sewing tools, but they were all Palais Royal, often set with Persian turquoise. Full measurements noted on the photos.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVery good to excellent condition for age and type, you can see the jeweled mother of pearl head with its gold ferule and old steel - is it a bent tip stiletto or a dainty crochet hook? It is the only piece I have from a jeweled sewing set at this time. Quite like a bit of jewelry, isn't it!  No chips, no loss to the mother of pearl, the gems or seed pearls, and 18k gold setting. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Antiques \u0026 Uncommon Treasure","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47919923462398,"sku":"126stil","price":345.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0298\/3392\/0556\/files\/126stil.jpg?v=1773439182","url":"https:\/\/antiques-uncommon-treasure.com\/ja\/products\/delicate-antique-french-18k-and-mother-of-pearl-stiletto-or-crochet-hook-tambour-seed-pearls","provider":"Antiques \u0026 Uncommon Treasure","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
