Lily Design Scarf Ring - 1950s Scarf Clip (SOLD)

 Here we have a pretty  1950s vintage scarf ring in a circular form.  The use of a stylised leaf 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 a little group of lily type flowers.  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 excellent condition.
