A security closing clasp is present at the back, and the pin is marked with the sticker label "Mary Oros."
Good condition, with minor surface wear and a couple of micro-miss of gilt coating throughout.

Note: Check the last picture for reference. We do have the matching necklace and earrings for sale in our storefront. Please note only the pin has brand marking.
About:
Californian sculptor and artist Mary Oros created an iconic and highly sought-after jewelry line from 1986 to 1990. Each piece is made of cast resin, colored individually in vibrant metallic paint hand-selected by Mary herself, and covered in acrylic for shine and durability. Some pieces were made to look like stones, and some were made to look like brass or silver.
The whole collection was an outstanding statement. Mary Oros's work was featured in Bazaar and other high-end fashion magazines in the late 1980s and has attained a highly collectible status since then.
Please see the measurements noted above in the description for the best approximate dimensions. less
