FREE SHIPPING IN THE USAHat Pins represented the changing styles in women's fashions, when bonnets where being traded in for fancy hats. Although Hat Pins first appeared in the 1850s, it wasn't until the late 19th century that they became widely manufactured.
From a Hartford-area estate, we have the epitome of fine artistry and design so prevalent in Hat Pins from the mid 1900s. With obvious care and brilliance in design, this spectacular Hat Pin is crowned with a 10-point full cut diamond, bezel set in ornately engraved white gold to add to its sparkle and beauty. From the half-rounded, white gold crown hangs a stunning natural seed pearl tassel topped by a 3-1/2mm cultured pearl, which sits just above the 14k white gold engraved, cone-shaped finale anchoring the tassel. The top crown is 1/4" in diameter and the tassel is 1-1/4" long.
The 14k yellow gold pin is 6 long, and, with the replacement of the missing 3-1/2mm pearl, this Vintage Pearl and Diamond Crowned Hat Pin is without any defects.
This Vintage Pearl and Diamond Crowned Hat Pin from the mid 1900s would be the "crown jewel" of anyone's collection, or an equally fabulous gift to your closest collector-friend or relative.
Hat Pins were designed by noted artists, jewelers and silversmiths, and could be very ornate in their design and workmanship with gilt and faceted glass decoration. If the Hat Pin was of a longer length, it was meant to anchor an ornately styled hat. As hat styles diminished in size, so did the length of the Hat Pins.
