Featured Curious about a cameo pin & unrelated other pair of pins

Hi everyone, I hope it's okay to group to things into one query, I'm still pretty new here and my thinking is to try to keep the forum uncluttered by only posting once.

I am wondering pretty much any info about these three pins, like how old they might be, where they might have come from, etc. I don't know anything about them but can try to clarify things about their basic appearance if my photos are lacking.

Oh I used to have a longer third pin that matched the pair in the photos but lost/misplaced it a couple years ago..

Thank you for your thoughts/time!

 

What size are the pins? They look like lingerie pins.

 

I could measure them when I get home, but I think they're about an inch long. The third one I used to have was probably twice as long or so.

 

yes...please include sizes 4 yer items, and where u found them may be helpful also...
help us...to help you !!!

 

as long as the items are mentioned in the titles...a couple per post is no problem..

 

The cameo looks to be 20th century, the case is 800 silver. Tagging @Bronwen for you, she is our go-to person for cameos

 

IMHO, the cameo is mid-20th century and set in 800 silver (not as fine as 925/sterling, of course). And the carving is not the best... a fairly low-end "affordable" item, both now and in its own time.
The two pins I'd place a little older... perhaps 1930s? At only an inch long, I agree they are baby/lingerie/beauty pins. (Google all three of those names and you'll see similar.) Cute little things!
Looking forward to see if @Bronwen and @PepperAnna agree, they are the cameo experts!

 

cameo 800 is 1968 and later.

 

Agree. The BA may indicate the setting was made by a jeweller registered in the Italian province of Bari. The helmet shell cameo itself is probably Neapolitan.
