Edelweiss Scarf Ring - 1950s Scarf Clip
Here we have a pretty 1950s vintage scarf ring in a circular form. The use of a classic pattern around the outer edge of the vintage scarf clip makes the item look unusual. The metal colouring is interesting too as it is a very soft pink tone, like a light copper. Then there is a panel of creamy pearlised Lucite which looks very like Mother of Pearl. On the pearly background is an edelweiss flower. The scarf clip has a ring back and is made of 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 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 1.5 inches in diameter this scarf clip is in really great condition with just a slight ring mark on the reverse to be noted as seen in photo.
