    I found these lovely parrots today. I don't know whether they are gold or brass, but they are fur clips. I may be calling them the wrong name. Once again, if anyone could help I would truly appreciate it. There are no markings and I have yet to buy a metal testing product, so I just don't know. I think they are gorgeous.

      raven3766, Cool. :-)

      *snip*

      Fur clips were worn on furs and were designed in such a way so as not to damage the fur. The fur clip was typically longer than dress clips and were pinned on to the fur by two sharp swivelling prongs attached to the back of the clip. This is why fur clips are also called double-pronged or pin-clips.

      no matter what they are made of {of course gold would be nicer} they are great, they are detailed and lovely....
    5. raven3766 raven3766, 3 years ago
      Yes, I agree RichmondLori, the details are amazing. They measure 3 inches long, so they are not small. Thank you so much.

      Ms. CrystalShip, you are too kind, thank you!!!
    11. kyratango kyratango, 3 years ago
      FANTASTIC!
      from the stones setting, I suspect they are not brass! :-D
      Test the metal!
    12. raven3766 raven3766, 3 years ago
      Right Kyratango, I am going to need to test. I will let you know.
    13. PhilDMorris PhilDMorris, 3 years ago
      They are plated or gold washed but maybe simple metal or brass. Anyway they are fantastic ones that are beautiful. Like collar clips. Parrots and Furs do go well together !~
    14. raven3766 raven3766, 3 years ago
      Thank you Phil, probably brass. Collar clips? Okay, thank you again,
    15. raven3766 raven3766, 3 years ago
      Well, I tested them and PhilDMorris was right! They are brass and the love hasn't changed. Thank Ms. Crystal and Valentino.
