Art Nouveau Victorian Sash Pin with Amethyst Glass Jewel

The 2 5/16" wide brooch has a gilt brass body; the facetted amethyst jewel is bezel set. The pin closes with a C clasp and is in very fine condition. Sash pins were worn from the late 19th century through the 1930s on sashes or ribbons at the waist.

C 1865 Cut Steel Extra Long Bar Pin Brooch
I’ve always been drawn to cut steel; it has a subtle luster and certainly great durability for a Victorian novelty material. This unusually long bar pin is 3 5/8" across and ½" high. A combination of rosettes and s-curves stamped from polished steel are riveted to a brass backing. The pin closes with an old style c-clasp. All the steel ornaments are present, one end piece has a crack though both tips are firmly in place. Cut steel jewelry was popular during the mid 19th century and as its brilliance was considered appropriate for daytime wear.
