Etymology

The term 'stickpin' has its origins in the fashion evolution of the 19th century, during which menswear began to adopt more formal and elaborate accessories. The stickpin became popular as a convenient way to secure cravats and later neckties, enhancing the aesthetic appeal of men's formal attire. Its design allowed men to express individuality and wealth, as wealthy individuals often chose ornate stickpins adorned with precious metals or stones.
