Bar Pin
Jewelry
Two large faceted jet glass balls cap the end of a tube. Strung between the ends are 4 gold-colored spacers and 3 smaller faceted balls. From each spacer hang 4 smaller faceted jet glass balls. Seems to be some repairs; one large ball has been glued onto the tube and one dangle has a smaller, less decorative head pin end. Likely a mourning pin. Unusual style of safety clasp glued poorly to the tube. Tube hinge and c clasp 3" long 3/4" wide
