<p>[QUOTE="Bronwen, post: 907850, member: 5833"]The pin stem could definitely be a replacement. Looks like a kink had to be put into it after it was soldered to the hinge so that it would line up properly with the clasp. The original may have bowed outward to give the bit of extra space needed to accommodate the outward curve of the cameo. The pin on the cameo brooch with the hair memento on the back is like that, even though it is not a swiveling mount. The beveled glass cover rises a bit above the frame & pin would hit it otherwise. It's a close fit as is.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
