Description
This vintage brooch pin features a faux abalone inlay, giving it a shimmering, iridescent look reminiscent of natural shell. The rhinestone accents add a touch of sparkle, while the dangle chain element creates movement, making it a standout accessory. It is secured with a C-clasp, a classic closure style often found in vintage jewelry. The shimmy effect refers to how the dangling elements catch the light and sway with movement, adding elegance and charm.
A C-clasp is a simple and classic fastening mechanism used in vintage brooches and pins. It consists of a curved metal piece shaped like the letter “C,” which holds the pin in place through tension. The pin slides into the open curve of the clasp, relying on pressure against the fabric to stay secure.
This type of clasp was commonly used in Victorian-era jewelry and remained popular until the early 20th century. Over time, more secure locking mechanisms, like the rollover safety clasp, became standard.
All the stones are there. There is one stone on the upper right hand order (the bottom one) that doesn’t appear to be set flat like the others.
