We love versatile pieces of jewellery and this antique 15ct gold safety pin can be worn in so many different ways. It can be worn alone as first intended as a pin/brooch. You can also add charms onto one side of the pin and wear it as a charm holder brooch too. And if you're really feeling inventive, it can be worn on a chain, with or without charms, either as a pendant or as a way to extend your chain's length.
The pin is made of 15ct gold, marked with a small square near to one end of the safety pin that is stamped '15'. The pin has a simple 'C' clasp. Without hallmarks it's hard to date the pin exactly but we belive it's likely dates to the late Victorian era or very early 20th Century.
The pin measures approx 51mm long by approx 8mm wide at it's widest end and weighs approx 3.85.8g in total. The safety pin bar is approx 1.5mm wide.
Condition - The pin is in good antique condition with some light surface wear to the gold. The side of the pin that doesn't open has a very slight bend/kink to it but this isn't very noticeable. Please see photos.
*Please note the chains, charms and antique box pictured are not included in the sale. The pin will be shipped in a new presentation box and pouch. The charms pictured are listed on our website separately*
