Description
This is a gorgeous, heavy, handmade, vintage Art Deco Retro 1940s pin with multiple rhinestones throughout. It is from an estate and has some age wear scratches and light very minor gold wear on the back edges. This pin is made the old way in several separately hand applied sections. The center section is old Art Deco pot metal and the rest is gold plated. The gold plating is 99% intact. The pot metal is early and dull with age. The rhinestones are still clean, clear, bright and sparkly. The large dark purple stones look like old European cut Austrian Crystals. They are very dark and deep colored purple red wine color. Size of pin is just about 3 3/4″ tall North to South by 2 7/16″ wide East to West across the widest point end to end. Depth/thickness from top to back pin rod is 1/2″. Weight is very heavy at 44 grams so this would be best used on heavy fabric material. It is very thick, solid, strong and well made. A lovely Art Deco retro pin for your vintage and antique jewelry collection. If you don’t like pins it would also look lovely converted into a dangle drop for a necklace.
