About the Item

A necessity during the Victorian Era, hat pins not only balanced precarious hats atop piles of hair but also moonlighted as weapons against overzealous gentlemen. Though teetering hats are no longer de rigeur, glorious century-plus-old pins such as these can be pierced through modern hats as statement accessories or even arranged in the hair like chopsticks. This extraordinary example features a faceted jet finial atop a sterling silver stem to create a practical—yet attention-grabbing—accessory. 6 ½” hat pin with sterling silver stem; faceted jet finial atop a diminutive sterling silver cube. material: sterling silver, faceted jet noteworthy: gently clean with damp cloth repairs: none condition: very good with light tarnish on stem measurements: length: 6” (stem), ½” (finial) finial diameter: ¼” signature: no signature present
