1950s Oval Scarf Ring in Silver Aluminium - Luscious Fruits
This is a collectable vintage scarf ring dating from the 1950s. This scarf clip has three fruits on a leafy twig as its main feature. My guess is they may be oranges as they have a slightly stippled skin and the shape of the leaves do look like they may be representing a citrus plant. The scarf clip is finished in a silver tone with an oval shaped inlaid panel of creamy pearlised Lucite which looks very like Mother of Pearl. There is a pretty open work border framing the design. The scarf clip has a ring back and is made of anodised aluminium which is extremely light so very suitable for wearing on your vintage silk scarves. Aluminium metal was first used in jewellery manufacture in the Victorian era and it was commercially in use during in the 1860's. Boxes, jewellery and other small items made from it were featured in the Paris Expositon Universelle for the first time in 1855. It also became a popular material for used in the manufacture of costume jewellery just after World War two. Anodised alulminium is often the metal found in necklace chains and bracelets dating from the late 1940s and early 1950s. This vintage floral scarf ring has a pearlised plastic inlay which imitates mother of pearl and a decorated pierced scrolled border which is a great background for the central floral design. There is a little enhanced black to the design to make the pattern stand out. Measurements are approx 3.5 cms by 4.5 cms and this scarf clip is excellent condition.
