Making jewelry from small safety pins and tiny glass seed beads was once a popular hobby. This set is particularly well-made. The necklace portrays a Native American thunderbird in blue, green, yellow, black and red against a white background. Centerpiece (thunderbird) portion measures 2.75 by almost 3 inches. The goldtone safety pins and multi-colored beads are also used to form the chain that goes around the neck, which is 28 inches long. The matching clip earrings measure 1.5 inches form top to bottom. I noticed that some of the safety pins were wired shut with fine copper wire and also coated with a hard glue on the reverse side where it is not visible. This attention to detail sets this necklace and earrings apart from others that are made from the same materials but not with the same care. Very good condition. Estimated circa 1950s – 1970s.
Buyer pays $3.75 for insured first class shipping/handling in the U.S. International customers, please contact me for rates.
