Scarf Ring-1950s Aluminium - Rose on Mother of Pearl - Silvertone

Here we have a pretty vintage Rose scarf ring in a circular form.  The outer edge of the vintage scarf clip consists of a ring of petals from a daisy type flower. Then there is a panel of creamy pearlised Lucite which looks very like Mother of Pearl on which our Rose sits in the centre.  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 for other things too 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.  This scarf ring has a pearlised plastic inlay which imitates mother of pearl and an elaborately decorated border with the aforementioned daiisy petal design on a coloured black background to make the pattern stand out.   Measuring  a little over 1.25 inches in diameter this scarf clip is in excellent condition.
