Turn-of-the-century hat fashion saw creations more large and expansive as any decade before. Entire stuffed birds, long turban-like wrapped velvet panels and tulle and silk piled up into expressive designs. To ensure that these stayed on the right place on the head, they naturally had to be pinned in place with appropriate pins. But hat pins were not just a necessary evil: in beautiful design, they could further enrich the hat! The two luxurious pins at hand were created around the turn of the century. The gold jewelry pieces each present a showpiece in the form of a decorative drop. A faceted amethyst and a citrine each shine there in violet and sunshine yellow. Both stones, although quite different in appearance, are varieties of the mineral quartz. Since hats which require such large pins are no longer part of the usual wardrobe today, the pins can of course be worn elsewhere - for example, as a pin on the lapel of a blazer or coat, or to hold a scarf together.
