This oh so pretty vintage look hatpin is made of sturdy steel with a long 9" stem. The stem should not bend for a long, long time. It is wonderful for your larger hats. A vintage 8.5mm floral bead is nestled in an ornate gold plated bead cap. The hatpin has a definite Victorian look. The beaded design measures 1 1/4" in length. It comes with a clutch.
