Set on a substantial central coral branch, and adorned with finely carved leaves, roses, and one beautiful calla lily, it also serves as a timeline of evolving pin styles, showing changes taking place because of shifts in fashion and a preference for thinner fabrics. Victorian era pins had thick, long pin stems, which protruded far beyond their catch, in order to properly anchor pins on thick fabrics. During the Edwardian era, fabrics became much lighter, with fine cottons, lace, and silks in fashion. This led to pin stems becoming noticeably thinner and shorter, as seen in this pin, which also has the very convenient addition of a removable bail, to convert it to a pendant. Calla lilies were an interesting symbol during the late 1800s and early 1900s, with an intriguing duality- they symbolized both purity and innocence, as well as being used to secretly convey lust and sexual desire.
