vintage VERSACE style ONE OF A KIND huge GOLD TONE safety pin brooch with plastic RHINESTONE charms

Mon, 07 Sep 2009 12:41:05 -0400

$21.00
really awesome huge kilt brooch we reconstructed from 1980s different pieces of jewelry.

the gold tone safety pin has a metal embossed versace style medusa face on one side.
it might be an AUTHENTIC Versace piece, but we cannot be sure about it.

to keep up the exaggerated mood of this piece, we decided to finish it adding three plastic rhinestone-like drop shaped faceted pendants that hang and move freely once the pin is worn. the charms are made of very light plastic so that you can wear the brooch without worrying about damaging the fabric you secured it to.

overall brooch measurements are
12.5 x 7.5 cm / 4.9 x 3in
(charms hang APX 4cm / 1.6in)

this is a true conversation piece!
everybody loves kitsch and this is a pure kitsch statement :)

MATERIALS:
gold tone metal safety pin
plastic charms
