Darling blooming thistle pin. Marked Sterling. The design resembles those manufactured by Danecraft, but to my knowledge their early pieces that were marked only sterling also had a hallmark on them and this piece does not. It does not appear to have been a high quality piece, as drops of silver can be seen with a loupe. Of course, by today’s standards, this is a very nice pin that you would never find in a dime store; that is if you can find a dime story!

All my jewelry is vintage or antique previously worn jewelry for the most part. For this reason I try to include close-up photos for your examination, but please feel free to ask questions before you make your purchase.
