Featured Sterling paste swallow pins

Hi Everyone,
I didn’t believe these to be Sterling at first, even though they’re marked. A few pastes missing. I guess it has some gold plating or such, but there looks to be some reaction in the photo showing Sterling mark. Anyway, the eye is some enamel not stone. Roll over clasp. Would they be 1940ish? Thank you for looking.

 

Pretty teenie weenie birdies !
40s seems old to me, I think the rhinestones would have been set, not glued then, and if they are a pair (and not two individuals together), i’d expect differences in pose or size to be harmoniously worn together
Not fully awake now, waiting for others opinion

 

Ok, Thank you. Très Bien!

 

WWII would make sense for a date; US costume makers could get silver when they couldn't get brass. Brass and lead etc were all used in the War effort. Silver wasn't, so sometimes you find costume pieces made of sterling from that era and a bit later.

 

Thank you! @evelyb30

 

Two facing in the same direction would make sense if you wore them together on the same side, like on a lapel. That 'one side' style was also worn in the 30s and 40s.

 

Thank you, @Any Jewelry ! It didn’t make much sense to me why there were 2 the same.

 

If you google "scatter pins," you'll find a lot of two piece sets with identical pieces and a lot with slightly different pieces.

 

Great, Thank you, @Jivvy

 

Pretty little things! I'm not sure whether they are swallows, but that does as well as anything else. They might even be "fantasy birds."
