Sterling silver - reclaimed
Kingman turquoise
Elevate your everyday look with this charming trout hat pin, crafted from reclaimed sterling silver with an authentically raw and rugged finish. This piece celebrates sustainable craftsmanship and brings a touch of aquatic whimsy to your hat collection. Whether you're a fishing enthusiast or simply love nature-inspired accessories, this delightful pin is sure to spark joy and conversation.
I made this with flexible twisted sterling wire. There are different ways to attach a this hat pin. You can use a hat band to avoid making a puncture in the hat itself, or if the hat material allows two small holes, then the pin can be woven through. In the picture, I just wove the wire through the hat band. You can reach out to me if you have questions.
Note to buyer: The reclaiming process is a bit of a long one. Most of the sterling silver I buy is from well used jewelry that isn't being worn anymore or has been broken. I also buy used sterling silverware. I melt it all down and roll it into sheet and wire. This means that I don't have to buy freshly mined silver that is much easier to work with. Reclaimed pieces cost morebecause of this extra process. In the end, reclaiming metal for my wares is gratifying and worth it to me. I hope you feel the same. With love.
All of my jewelry is stamped .925 and or 14-24k gold. This is helpful for resell value if you ever decide to pass it on.
