Vintage Mexican Sterling Silver & Abalone Shell Stick Pin

This is a really pretty mid-century stick pin handcrafted in Mexico. It’s a minimalist piece with a genuine, high-quality Abalone shell inlay set in solid sterling silver. The shell has that great natural iridescence that shifts through blues, greens, and purples depending on the light. It’s about 1.5 inches wide, making it a versatile size for a lapel, a scarf, or even a hat. I’ve freshly polished it and it’s in excellent shape. Material: Solid .925 Sterling Silver (Hallmarked "Mexico") Gemstone: Natural Iridescent Abalone Shell Size: 1.5" Wide Weight: 2.73 grams Condition: Excellent vintage condition. The silver is bright and the shell inlay is smooth with no cracks or chips. Mexican abalone jewelry is really collectible for its unique "fiery" look. This is a subtle, lightweight way to wear a piece of mid-century history. I’m right on Manitoba St and happy to meet up nearby if you want to see the colors in person!
