This is a gem-encrusted metal pin owned by Elizabeth Gendle. The pin consisted of a flower piece with eight "petals" and a green center. Each petal is circular with a space for a clear gem. Two of the eight petals are missing a gem, but the remaining six have their gems. The center is a larger green gem. This flower piece is connected to a long metal pin used to hold the object within someone's hair.
