ADORNMENTS ~ CAGED PINS 1

Caging is an old jewelry technique that I enjoy doing a great deal. It entails the wiring of beads etc., to a jewelry ‘cage’. The cage is then joined to the back cover which has a sturdy pin back built into it. Caged pieces are heavy, and therefore suitable for coats, blazers, hats, etc..

Caged Pin 1 2 1/2” diameter $100 This piece has old Lucite beads, Venetian glass beads, Czech. seed beads, metal beads and more in it. Heavy, so not for pinning on lightweight fabrics.     Caged Pin 2 3” x 2 1/4” $100 The brass decoration in this caged piece is a vintage stamping. The beads are contemporary seed beads. A heavy piece, suitable for coats, hats and blazers...or jeans if you are adventurous.
