This is a vintage goldtone earth pin showing the western hemisphere with the North and South Americas raised in silver.

It shows a little wear but is in very good condition. It's 1 1/2 inches in diameter, ships free in the US.

It is fashioned after a miltary award/bar type pin, wrapped in pale pink silk and adorned with two iridescent chandelier crystals and a few found beads. It is all woven together with crocheted stainless steel, the pliant strength surrounding and protecting the fragile beauty within.
This brooch is made of recycled cardboard packing, curtain, blouse, brass wire, and chandelier with new stainless steel wire and a found safety pin backing.This is One Of A Kind and no one else will ever have one just like it!If you like the hat you see here, it is listed :http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?ref=vl_other_1&listing_id=22750327
