Multi-Element Decorative Hair Pin

This is a decorative hair pin, approximately 4-6 inches in visible length, composed of several distinct ornamental elements stacked vertically. The uppermost element is a spherical bead, appearing to be crafted from a translucent green resin or glass, with irregular inclusions of gold or brass leaf suspended within, creating a shimmering effect. Below this, a prominent, multi-faceted clear floral element, likely made of resin, glass, or crystal, resembles a daisy or chrysanthemum with numerous petals. It features a yellowish-orange center, possibly painted or a different material, simulating the anthers of a flower. Further down, there is a large, irregularly shaped, polished green stone or resin element, exhibiting a distinct internal network of lighter green or white veins, reminiscent of malachite or a cracked jade pattern. Attached to the side of this green element, near its top, is a smaller, intricate golden flower-like charm with white enameled or resin petals radiating from a central golden boss. Dangling from this golden charm via a small gold-toned loop are two additional small beads: one appears to be a faceted, light green glass bead, and the other a smaller, iridescent green bead with a textured or mottled surface. The overall construction suggests a contemporary style, likely hand-assembled given the unique combination of elements. No visible manufacturer's marks or signatures are discernible. The materials appear to be in good condition with no obvious chips, cracks, or significant wear, though the lighting makes it difficult to assess fine scratches. The craftsmanship appears to be of decent quality, with attention to detail in the individual components.
