Aluminium Scarf Clip- 1950s - Celtic Style Border (Sold)

The picture here shows this super vintage scarf clip with its monster plant design!  However the clip is really a SILVER colouring and for some reason the camera has failed to capture the silver but has got the creamy colour spot on!  This is a vintage scarf ring, dating from the 1950s and in a circular form.  The outer edge of the vintage scarf clip consists of a Celtic knot design. Then there is a panel of creamy pearlised Lucite which looks very like Mother of Pearl with the monster plant .  The scarf clip has a ring back and is made of silver tone anodised aluminium which is extremely light so very suitable for the purpose. Aluminium metal was first used in jewellery manufacture in the Victorian era and it was commercially in use properly during in the 1860's. Boxes, jewellery and other tiny objects made from it were featured in the Paris Expositon Universelle for the first time in 1855. It also became a popular material for costume jewellery just after World War two and is often found used for necklace chains and bracelets in the late 1940s and early 1950s.  This scarf ring measures  1.5 inches in diameter,  is in excellent condition and is ready to clip on to your favourite silk scarf.
