Brass Safety Pin Sterling inset with turquoise stone

For your viewing pleasure, we present an old pawn Navajo safety pin with sterling and turquoise stone inset. Hallmark of the maker on back as shown in photos.

• “Old pawn” refers to historical or vintage Native American jewelry that was originally brought to trading posts as collateral for loans and never redeemed by the maker.

•  These pieces are often handmade with genuine sterling silver and natural turquoise stones, sometimes featuring traditional stamps, sandcasting, or unique utilitarian shapes like oversized safety pins used as key rings, brooches, or charms.
