CattWalk Original ~ Vintage Hatpin Genuine Amethyst Hatpin with Tanzanite Swarovski Crystal #1. Comes with a Silver plated clutch. Tanzanite never photgraphs great with my camera, it's a really cool purple color. I made 2 of these up, they'll be in separate listings, this listing is for the one on the bottom of the 2nd. picture. The width of this hatpin is 3/4 inch at it's widest part and the length is 9 1/2 inches. ~ If you want combined shipping, please add items to cart, then request a combined shipping invoice, thank you :). My unique hatpins are inspired from my vintage ornaments I make and sell....the finials I put on my ornaments are very elaborate. The majority of materials used in my hatpins are vintage, averaging 50 years old, which means after my life time they will become antique CattWalk Hatpins. The stackable findings I use are nice and strong with solid gold plating, even my half pearls are vintage, all rhinestones are Swarovski. I don't leave a single detail out, often decorating the backs. I use jewelers glue which is as tough as nails. I lucked out with my husband being a tool maker, he makes my stainless steel shanks with super sharp points which are buffed and waxed. The proper way to use a hatpin in a hat is NOT to push it in, use a screwing type motion. I know many people purchase these to have pretty bouquets of sparkle in there hatpin holder, if the buyer would like these shortened to use in a hat and want a clutch just message me, I would be happy to shorten it and include either a silver or gold plated clutch free of charge :). The last picture is of a finial from an ornament I've sold showing where my inspiration for hatpins came from. I've been a Jewelry and Victorian Designer for over 20 years. I can never have enough glitz on anything I make :). If you have any questions convo me. I take great pride all these years in everything I design.....You will be getting a Museum Heirloom piece to pass down. International bu yer contact me first for shipping quote.
