Synthetic blue "Mermaid glass" moonstone beads - glow like lit from within with a blue-white shimmer. Hatpins were used extensively in days gone by to keep ladies' hats in place. Now, though some still use them, they are often collected as antiques or just a beautiful accent, displayed in special hatpin holders, flower vases, added to plants, or displayed in vintage hat collections. Use your imagination! Some shorten them and put one or two through a jacket lapel or a loose weave scarf. WE SHIP WORLDWIDE, see the chart for postage to your country.
