Antique, Edwardian era little lightweight gold plated enamel, and glass rhinestone crescent lace pin, flower centered with a rhinestone, with green enamel leaves. It measures 1 x .75 inch. When inspected closely, one can see that the crescent moon is not quite in round, and that there are some tiny marks on one tip of the moon, perhaps someone straightened it, or was the cause for it getting out of true. It looks delightful when worn, but checking it over carefully shows it a bit skew. No actual damage or issues.
Lace or beauty pins became popular as the heavy clothing and materials of the Victorian era gave way to the light weight and filmy fabrics and laces and ribbons and veiling of the Edwardian era, and lightweight jewelry was needed, as well as small decorative pins to pin down the laces, veiling, and layers of Edwardian outfits. The older, heavier jewelry weighed those materials down and made them sag or tear, and were no longer fashionable, either.
*Payment expected at time of purchase for single item purchases. Happy to combine shipping for multiple items for actual cost only. No discounts. No shipping outside of USA. See my shop’s Terms Of Sale for details – a great time saver!

Other Information
All items in my shop are priced at the lowest price that I am willing to accept for that item, available to everyone, and thus I do not accept offers - everyone shopping for my items gets the same low price. Repeat buyers automatically get 10% off items $10 and over that have been listed for at least 30 days. I appreciate the interest in my items, but please be aware that offers or requests for lower prices will not be considered or acknowledged , as the price you see is the very least that I can accept.
We ship to USA addresses ONLY.
We do have a broad base of regular and return customers who check our site daily for new listings, and buy quickly. In fairness to both our customers and to us, we require that single-item purchases be paid for immediately by clicking the Pay Now icon or button as prompted by Ruby Lane when you make your purchase order, or (for combined purchases in which we need to adjust the shipping cost for multiple items packed together) shortly after the combined invoice is sent. This is especially important for those items that have just been listed the same day. We will then ship your item or items right out to you, and mark these items as Sold. We cannot hold single items unless prior arrangements have been made, and will return them to sale for everyone to have a chance, if payment does not accompany the order.
I am happy to combine purchases for actual cost only shipping. The site cannot accurately combine shipping for multiple items, please be assured that I always refund excess shipping to the penny. You can also submit your multiple item order, without paying, and I will adjust the shipping to reflect the actual cost based on package combined weight and size and send the adjusted invoice.
