This brass victorian style gargoyle pin design is 100% handcrafted and assembled in the USA! The highly-detailed bat faced gargoyles are shell-back brass stampings created using an antique mold! The brass has been lovingly hand polished and double-coated with a sealant to prevent tarnishing & discoloration. Please note that many other makers sell raw brass jewelry; raw brass will tarnish quickly and is very difficult to keep clean! This item is available in two hand-polished finishes: bright gold and antiqued brass. This gargoyle brooch can be worn however you like: as a gargoyle lapel pin or on a jacket or a bag, etc... These are small enough to wear one on each shirt collar tip, too!
