Victorian Trembler Spring Hat Pin with Amethyst Molded Glass and Crystal ca 1900

About the Item

A necessity during the Victorian Era, hat pins not only balanced precarious hats atop piles of hair but also moonlighted as weapons against overzealous gentlemen. Though teetering hats are no longer de rigeur, glorious century-plus-old pins such as these can be pierced through modern hats as statement accessories or even arranged in the hair like chopsticks. This extraordinary example features an impressive ¾” molded amethyst glass finial with seven 5mm crystals atop a trembler spring to create an accessory that stands on its own. 7” hat pin with trembler stem; ½” molded amethyst glass floral finial surrounded by seven crystal “petals.” material: brass, silver, molded amethyst glass, crystals noteworthy: gently clean with damp cloth repairs: none condition: very good with gently curved stem measurements: length: 6” (stem), ¾” (spring), ¼” (finial) finial diameter: ¾” signature: no signature present
