Vintage ML 1970s Signed Sterling Silver Textured Apple Lapel Stick Pin Figural

Sterling silver stick pins with a figural head are harder to find than the plain variety.

A stick pin in sterling silver, the head formed as an open apple shape with a textured granular surface on the front and a small stem and leaf detail at the top. The reverse is smooth, with the maker's mark ML stamped at the stem. Secured with a torpedo-style bullet clasp.

The dense granular finish is characteristic of sterling silversmithing work from the 1970s and 1980s.

Stick pins sit flat through a lapel, a knit tie, or the fold of a scarf without bulk. The apple motif is discreet at this scale — reads as a refined accent rather than a novelty piece. Works equally on a tailored coat lapel, a thick wool cardigan, or a draped scarf.
