[QUOTE="kyratango, post: 562946, member: 5006"]Thanks [USER=2844]@Any Jewelry[/USER] for tagging me! Journey, this is a beauty and a very desirable piece, because of Tiffany, and the original case:woot: Not a hair ornament, [USER=5833]@Bronwen[/USER], it would slip out of the bun in one blink:nailbiting:, should need to have 2 prongs, or a larger flat shaft... Material is satin finish onyx, crystal roundel and pearl. The longest hatpins date around 1910, when fashion was to wear huge wide hats, covered with feathers, even whole big birds:facepalm: Laws were promulgated to limit the length of the weapon ( pre-Weinstein era but there was some insisting suitors...) and made mandatory to wear an end protector on the needle! I situe this one just before 1920, and probably to fit a mourning attire.[/QUOTE]
