Materials and Features:

• Molded Faux Marcasite Faceting: A spectacular example of Art Deco revival casting. The silver-tone base is detailed with rows of sharply molded, four-sided metal pyramids that are treated with a dark sulfide wash in the recesses and polished bright on the tips to recreate the glittering brilliance of hand-cut antique pyrite minerals.

• Recessed Hexagonal Enlay well: The central focal element features a bezel-walled geometric hexagon. A thick layer of high-gloss black cold enamel is poured directly into the recessed well, seating it slightly below the outer silver rim to mimic the exact visual depth profile of authentic inlaid onyx or French Art Deco glass.

• Asymmetric Dual-Pattern Reverse Matrix: The reverse casing features an engineering texture template that shifts from a dense, pebble-like stippling across the central rhombus section to clean, parallel vertical ribbing lines along the stepped outer wings. This custom texturing breaks up liquid metal surface tension during production, ensuring the long 2.875" frame remains perfectly straight and structurally rigid with an exceptionally substantial 20g hand feel.

• Elevated Clasp Platform Architecture: The mechanical backing is engineered with a flat, integrated rectangular platform riser cast directly into the central reverse mold cavity. Both the standard round joint hinge and the rollover safety clasp housing are hard-soldered onto this flush pad, elevating the pinstem to balance the center of gravity and completely eliminate fabric drag or garment sagging.

Type: Standard raised-platform mounted roll-over safety catch mechanism with an integrated round hinge bar and pinstem
