Stick/tie Pins ...

A tie-pin also known as a stick-pin is a neckwear-controlling device, originally worn by wealthy English gentlemen to secure the folds of their cravats. They were first popularised at the beginning of the 19th century. 

Cravats were made of silk, satin, lace and lightly starched cambric, lawn and muslin, and stick-pins were necessary accouterments to keep these expensive fabrics in place and safe. Stickpins commonly used pearls and other precious gemstones set in gold or other precious metals and were designed specifically for their owners.

By the 1890s, stickpins had crossed gender lines as women began wearing them with sporting outfits worn for bicycling, boating, horseback riding, tennis, and golf. The Ascot, Four in Hand, Sailor Scarf, cravat bow tie and wrapped scarf all became popular for both men and women, and all could be set off with an ornamental stickpin.
