This silvery sugar skull pin/pendant is bold, bright and shiny. The size is especially unique. It measures about 2-1/8 inches long and about 1-1/2 inch wide at the top. How stunning pinned on a black blazer or dress.

The hanging loop in the back adds versatility - just slip your own chain or cord through the bail and you've turned your brooch into pendant - just like that!

Each of these is hand-made so they will vary slightly. Please let us choose one for you.

This lovely piece is made of Alpaca silver (also known as German silver). It is an alloy of copper, nickel and zinc (and contains little or no true silver). This keeps it from tarnishing or rusting, but it might dull over time and need a polishing. Please consider that it may cause a reaction to those who may be sensitive to nickel.

The pin measures 2-1/4 inches wide by 1-5/8 inch high. The sides and back have been finished in black, adding a frame-like quality to the pin, although the black is not visible from the top.

We're not quite sure of the material - it might be lightweight wood or perhaps masonite. The image has been découpaged onto the pin.

Leapin' lizards! Were we ever excited to find these wonderful old Little Orphan Annie pins. We think they are made of celluloid or bakelite. Though not advertised as such, we've performed the standard tests and expect that they are.

Each measure 1-1/2 inch from her chin to the top of her curly hair and 1-1/4 inch wide. When we discovered these they were all attached to canvas, so we left them on the material for you.

The back of the pin is glued on. So, we're not really sure if this motif was originally meant to be a pin or not. We suspect these to hail from sometime mid 20th century.

Because you're never fully dressed without a smile, if you're in a bad mood, just put this pin on and let Annie smile for you...we're sure that will engender many a smile from those you meet.

April Fool's Day (the first of April) finds its roots in so many different traditions, it's hard to sort them all out. The vast number of these histories seem to center around the Vernal Equinox, once signaling the New Year. As today, many were known to exchange hopeful gifts at the beginning of the new year. So, when the calendar changed to feature January 1 as beginning each year, many protested by making mock gifts and ceremonies. This negative reaction turned into the April Fool's Jokes we have today.

We were delighted to be able to offer you such a wonderful piece for such a fun holiday!

Simply create your own personal message in pencil on the banner and then complete it with a marker or paintbrush. There is a little pin built in on the back of the heart as it was originally designed as a brooch. But we like to use them in making shrines, nichos, etc.

It is really difficult to see the three-dimensional effect of this wonderful piece. It measures about 3 inches from top to bottom and about 2-3/4 inches across. Of course, each is different, as each is hand made one at a time and the style may vary slightly from the one you receive.

Hand-Made Alpaca Silver mini Frame Pin/Pendant

Hand Nicho Necklace

This fantastic little nicho measures a mere 1-1/2 inch high and only 1 inch wide. The glass measures 3/4 by 1/2 inch. Just slide your artwork behind the glass for a very special piece. You might also like to ad this mini nicho to a larger one for a special memory within a memory or a special shrine within a shrine.

The artisanship is wonderful on this lovely piece. Not only is it a special niche, but it also has a large bail behind the niche for hanging on a velvet cord or other necklace. AND, there is a pin with latch, so that you might enjoy it as a brooch as well

Each of these is hand-made individually so they will vary slightly. Please let us choose one for you.

This lovely piece is made of Alpaca silver (also known as German silver). It is an alloy of copper, nickel and zinc (and contains little or no true silver). This keeps it from tarnishing or rusting, but it might dull over time and need a polishing. Please consider that it may cause a reaction to those who may be sensitive to nickel.

Mini Evil Eye Pin

More Amulets & Milagros

Our little evil eye pin is so old-fashioned and modern at the same time! You'll receive a little (about 1 cm) heart-shaped hand-made glass evil eye charm and a little plastic leaf or bunch of grapes on a standard golden brass safety-pin.

The custom suggests that you'll be protected if you pin this little amulet inside (or outside) your clothing, it will protect you, so these little eyes are thought to turn away looks of envy and give protection from the evil eye.

Generally an evil look is associated with ill will or bad luck, so these little eyes will turn away such looks and give you protection from the infamous evil eye.

Emerald Beetle Pin

Close-Up

 

Emerald Beetle Pin

This elegant but eerie pin is crafted from an actual Beetle (Sternocera Acquisagnata) from the forests of Northern Thailand. The beetles die after reproducing, then are fashioned into pins. Their natural iridescent color will charm and delight you. Beetles have many meanings throughout the world and are often considered good luck as they are by the Thai Hill Tribes, who traditionally wear these pins and other jewelry made of the beetle's wings.

Because these are natural, of course, each will be different. They measure about 1-1/4 to 1-1/2 inch long and have been set in golden metal to resemble the living luck they represent. Each is gift boxed for presentation and protection.
