Thanks Valeria101,

Judging from the several types of metal work deployed on the pin, it could have come out of a tidy workshop with a talented hand at the bench, not a mass-market jewelry catalog.

Must say though... your hand is better! Wouldn't this orchid pin be just the thing to tie down a long pearl rope? And the other, silver pin you found is definitely one piece I wish I had found first...
I agree, it is not a mass produced piece. Probably a one of by a talented hand. When I saw it I just had to have it. Talk about love at first sight. I actually found it on the same search when I found the Silver Pin/Brooch. Wanted both, greedy, that is me when it comes to pearls.

I think it could be used like an enhancer too. It would look gorgeous that way and secure all.

Thanks so much. That is a real compliment from you as I know you are pretty good at eBay buys yourself. I was just taking a break from listing and just extended my search a bit by including full descriptions. Generally that will turn up rubbish and generally just too many items including music, incense and all kinds of things but I got lucky this time.

I will post some great photos of the Silver Pin when it shows up - will that do

Bo
