    I found this sweet little pin at a sale last week for a few dollars. It has a small amethyst and pearl. No markings other than the 14k. I think it is Art Deco?

    A bit earlier, I'd think.

    Art Nouveau-ish, Belle Epoque. These weren't used any more, at least not much, by the time Deco rolled around.

    Ha! I had to look up stick pin clutch too. I never wear my stick pins. I wear only casual clothing. I just now started wearing my brooches on my heavy winter sweaters. But we don't have much winter weather around here, so those rarely get worn.:(

    The pointy bits on the old pins tend to tear holes in modern fabrics. Older ones tended to be a looser weave. I wear mine on jackets and blazers.
