    Hi All,
    I'm stumped with this one, the face part is a brooch/pin but the dangly part doesn't have a pin attachment, so how would it be worn? Has some green on his face I have to clean off. Is there a name for this type of brooch?
    any information appreciated
    thanks for looking:)

    Not a common design, can say that for sure.

    Could the chain with the round part on the end somehow go in a button hole? Maybe jewelry that came with a shirt? (Just guessing.)

    Wait for others.

    Button hole might work.

    thanks ladies:)

    yes, I wondered about going in a button hole, but it doesn't look right on a shirt, or maybe it is just me that thinks that:)
    Maybe for hanging your eyeglasses from?
    @clutteredcloset49, I can't find the post where you mentioned a brooch eye glass holder to see if it is the same style as mine.

    It's not an eye glass holder pin.
    I'll see if I can find the thread.

    I think it is a sweater guard. Newer.

    It would be designed for a woman's suit with fabric with a bit of heft.

    Oh, here you go. Here's the idea (if not the execution.) "Korean bridegroom wedding brooches.

    Hmmm, if it came with the bridegroom....(LOL) I'd be thinking sweater guard too, on the Canada-found one.

    Could it be the type of tie tack that a man could wear with those skinny ties they wore years ago?

    @cxgirl
    I couldn't find my comment either. Do you remember how long ago that was? I went through several pages of my posts.

    thanks for the replies ladies:) I don't have a sweater with buttons to try it so not sure if the chain part is long enough - it is 3 1/2".
    thanks for looking cluttered:) I thought the post was from the other day, but time is so messed up for me, the days have all blended together. Something I think that happened yesterday in reality happened several weeks ago.
    Thanks for showing those Korean wedding brooches Debora, they are pretty cool looking:)
    don't think that would work Pat, the face part would have to be on the tie and the little dangly part has to go in a button hole, men's button holes are on the left hand side.:)
