Retro Mixed Media Rhinestones Shrimp Pin ~ Book Piece
Crustacean sensation! … Hailing from the 1960’s or ‘70s, here’s the perfect pin to wear at the shore—or anywhere you want to grab some admiring attention! Depicting a wonderfully detailed shrimp, the piece boasts goldtone metalwork on the head, sweeping antennae, legs, and tail, and a fabulous segmented body in salmon pink plastic. The crustacean’s eyes are made of faux pearls, the tail is also accented with a lovely simulated pearl, and the head and tail are elaborately embellished with white rhinestones that sparkle and glimmer like diamonds. The entire figural is mounted to a goldtone metal backing, which is fitted with a secure rollover clasp. Simply divine!

Hallmarks: Unmarked. Dimensions: 2-1/4” x 1-1/2”. Condition: Excellent vintage condition. Book Piece: The exact piece {mistakenly described as a lobster!} is featured in Collecting Art Plastic Jewelry by Leigh Leshner, on page 57.
