Sweet, romantic, a little treasure to adorn your button-down shirt or even a light scarf, this period Art Nouveau sterling silver and enamel bar pin was crafted in London, England in the opening years of the previous century. Silky, off-white magnolia flowers with just a touch of orange/yellow where the petals meet the stem and shimmering green leaves against a pearlescent background take center stage here...
An antique pin with a modern vibe.
This charming Arts & Crafts is made of sterling silver that has been enameled in artfully shaded blue to chartreuse to look like the wings of a stylized moth. A mother-of-pearl oval centers the body, and there is a small faceted green 'stone' (possibly glass) at the head. The pin is 1 ½ by 3/4 inches in size, not including the small spherical dropper which is enameled in a rich blue.
The pin is circa 1900.
