Authenticity Guarantee
Every piece is hand-selected, cleaned, and described using over 20 years of vintage experience. When a listing says a piece is vintage, it is vintage. If an item isn't as described, I'll refund you in full, including shipping.
Vintage Condition
Every piece here is pre-loved and often decades old, so expect gentle signs of age and use, like light scratches, softened plating or finish, small marks, or patina. That's part of each piece's history and charm, and nothing will look fresh off a showroom floor.
Anything beyond normal wear, such as chips, cracks, repairs or damage, is always pointed out in the description and shown in the photos. If an item arrives with a flaw I didn't mention, my return policy has you covered.

Stuart Nye Copper Pinecone Brooch | Hand Wrought Asheville NC | Signed Nye Clover Mark | Square 1.5"
A little piece of the North Carolina woods, ready for your coat lapel. Who else gets excited when the pinecones start dropping?
This is a solid copper brooch by Stuart Nye, hand wrought in Asheville, North Carolina. It's a square plaque with clipped corners, with two pinecones on a branch raised from the back and the pine needles chased into the surface. It's signed on the back with Nye's looped N-Y-E clover mark.
