"Identifying Brooches" states: " Sash Pin. This is a type of pin used to secure a sash at a lady's hip during the late 1800s when the fad of wearing a sash over the shoulder and across bosom (imitating Queen Victoria) or around the waist became popular. Most examples have very thick pin stems to allow for penetrating several layers of fabric."
The setting is an awesome 3 layered work of Brass art all be itself! . Art Deco Layers discreetly hand welded together by original artist. This brooch is over 120 years old. It is not new, not mint. Please zoom pictures that are part of description.
I added 22" brass tone adjustable Necklace & add option of brooch to pendant converter & 22" adjustable silver plate necklace. As the original maker of antique brooch put 1890 C clasp in center of back, that would cause cameo to tip forward as a pendant; so I have added a small piece of Scotch tape to top back to prevent tipping. Hangs great now. If you are sure you never will want to wear this as a brooch, I will permanently glue converter for you. Just say so in purchase memo. Presently, you can wear as a necklace; or you can wear it as a brooch by temporarily removing pendant converter.
All I did here was replace a plain stone with a beautiful vintage hand carved cameo & add plastic stoppers to clasp+- with necklace.
Brooch Measures 2 7/8" by 2 ", raised 1/4". Thick pin stem & 1890 C clasp brooch.
