The enamel hatpin is a beauty, could it be Liberty.
The coral beaded crown may have been originally a Chinese hat button. These were commonly fashioned into other items for western export; bells made from these (the more ornate glass or gem balls with metal settings) for instance are now very popular collectibles just as are the original hat buttons. Most are much more extravagant than the coral beaded crown shape and wouldn't be suitable fashioned into a hatpin. One hatpin as mine was sold a few months ago on eBay and it was made with the original base that the ornament was threaded into to attach to the hat. These are hard-to-find and an excellent piece of history.
Yep, I saw it!
