Fine silver popular barnacle bottom pin - narrow

This pin was made with PMC that was pressed into a mold made from the underside of a barnacle, then fired. The fine silver barnacle bottom is ~1 1/4” tall and ~1” popular wide. The pin and backing are both nickel. This can also be used as a tie tack/pin.

Because this is made with PMC, there will be some slight imperfections that add to the pin's charm.
