A sterling silver antique French imported Islamic Hamsa The Hand of Fatima enamel hat hair tie cravat stick pin Art Nouveau

A sterling silver antique French imported Islamic Hamsa The Hand of Fatima
enamel hat hair tie cravat stick pin. The pin has the swan hallmark which I
believe means that it was imported into France from another country. It was
probably imported back to France from somewhere like French Morocco in the
early 20th century. It also has other marks but I can't make them out. The pin
tests as sterling silver with my acid tester. The top measures approx. 30 x
35mm from its furthest points. The full length is approx. 80 mm. There is a
small green cabochon stone which may be emerald but I don't have a machine to
test if it is genuine. The enamel has wear in places but overall in good
condition for its age. The silver has wear and tarnish consistent with its age
and prior use. Overall a beautiful, unique piece. More pictures upon request.
Please take note of measurements as items may look larger in the photos than
they actually are. This item will be shipped Royal Mail Signed For in the UK
and tracked and/or signed for to everywhere else.

ATTENTION EU BUYERS: As a result of Brexit, please be aware that your
government may charge you an import tax and/or customs duty charge when you
receive your package from the UK. All European countries have different rules
so please check with your tax or customs office before making a purchase. To
assure that you receive your purchase quickly, I go to the post office Monday
through Saturday and sometimes I go twice a day. I usually only go once on
Saturday around 9 am as my local post office shuts at 12.00. If you purchase
more than one item, I will combine the shipping and each additional item sent
in the UK is £0.50 extra per item and to the rest of the world is £1.00 extra
per item. If I discover that the combined packing and shipping has worked out
less than what you paid, I will promptly refund the difference. Please contact
me if you wish to discuss combined shipping. As I cannot afford the loss of my
items and shipping costs, I ship most items by UK Royal Mail Signed For or
International Tracked and/or Signed which ensures that you receive your
purchase and which also provides me with proof of delivery. I do not make a
profit on the packing and postage price that you pay. You can visit the UK
Royal Mail website to confirm that I charge exactly what they charge me plus 40
pence for the packing material that I buy brand new to pack and ship your
purchase. I keep my item prices as low as I can instead of artificially
inflating them to compensate to give free shipping which is what some other
sellers do by using the “Etsy smart pricing tool” which in their words “help
you recover postage costs”. Please compare my item prices combined with the
shipping costs as a lot of the times it is still less than other sellers who
offer free shipping. It is possible that I have inadvertently made a mistake on
a shipping price, item price and/or description. If you notice that I have made
any mistakes, I sincerely apologise and if you would please bring it to my
attention, I will correct it asap. You may cancel your order for any reason
within 14 working days of the delivery of your purchase and receive a refund of
the item price upon its return excluding the original postage charge. As I am
not a big company like Amazon, I am sorry but I cannot afford to offer free
returns. I am happy to provide more photos if requested to help you make the
best decision before making a purchase. I know how difficult it can be to make
a decision about purchasing something that you can only see in photos and
cannot see in person. I would suggest that if you have any doubts whether the
item will be exactly what you want, reconsider making the purchase as it may be
expensive because the buyer is responsible for any customs charges on receiving
the item and also any customs charges that the seller may incur if the buyer
returns the item. If any unexpected issue should arise please contact me and I
will endeavour to resolve it immediately.
