1950s Round Aluminium Scarf Clip - Five Petal Flower Scarf Ring

Here we have a lovely vintage scarf clip  in a circular form.  The design is a textured gentle dome with a smooth centre rounded to which five petals join. The petals have a detailed overlapping design and are raised on a silver surface on a blackened background with a ball dotted rim . The scarf clip has a ring back and is made of silver tone anodised aluminium which is extremely light so is very suitable for the purpose. People always think of Aluminium as a very modern  metal but it was first used in jewellery manufacture in the Victorian era and it was commercially in use during 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..   Measuring  a fraction over 1.25 inches  this circular scarf clip is in very good condition with the clip holding it securely in place when in use.
