SOLD 1950s Scarf Clip - Aluminium Metal with Eidelweiss Flower
Here we have a 1950s vintage scarf ring in a circular form. Most likely this lovely scarf clip comes from Switzerland or Germany somewhere where Eidelweiss is a national flower. The outer edge of the vintage scarf clip consists of a zig zag design picked out on a blackened contrasting background with circular ball detail.Then there is a panel of creamy pearlised Lucite which looks very like Mother of Pearl with a nice Eidelweiss flower on it. 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 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. Back to the Eidelweiss Scarf ring - Measuring 3.5 cms in diameter this scarf clip is in excellent condition and is ready to use on your favourite silk scarf.
