A beautifully executed pin that features a bezel-mounted oval dyed green chalcedony or chrysoprase, surrounded by a layer of leafy flowers and berries. This layer is composed of cast pieces individually applied to a serpentine wirework frame reminiscent of late arts and crafts design; dating would be 1930s or 1940s. The pin has a lovely patina from age and the stone retains its highly polished surface, exhibiting hardly any wear. The rollover clasp is very secure. The pin is probably American, and is marked sterling on the back; there is no discernible maker's mark. It measures 1 ¾ inches across; the stone measures ¾ inches long by just over ½ inch wide.
