Six inches of hand wrought scrollwork. This antique Indonesian long brooch, called a peniti, is built from pierced silver toned filigree that curls into flowers, leaves and tiny blossom cups, each one holding a flat topped quartz stone, with one blue stone near the top and a sunburst medallion at one end. Long pins like this were worn down the front of a kebaya blouse or across a sash in West Java, and it still has every bit of that presence.

Wear it pinned vertically down a black dress or a velvet jacket exactly the way it was meant to be worn, or use it to close a silk scarf at the shoulder.

SIZE: One size.

MATERIALS: Silver toned metal (unmarked and untested) and quartz stones, with one blue stone.

ERA: Estimated early 20th century.

MEASUREMENTS: Approximately 6.25 inches long.

CONDITION: In good secondhand condition for its age, with honest wear: several of the small stones are missing from their cups, the larger stone in the center medallion is cracked, and the finish carries a deep antique patina, all of it visible in the photos. The long pin stem and its hook catch are secure.

By purchasing items from Dollchunk Bazaar, you recognize that all items are secondhand--sometimes over 100 years old!--and therefore have normal wear and tear. The condition of all items can be seen in photos. If you have any questions, reach out to customerservice@dollchunk.com before purchasing.

Each Dollchunk piece is handcrafted in New York City. Due to the handmade nature, each Dollchunk piece is one-of-a-kind and will vary slightly. Please see Materials and Use and Care Instructions below.

Materials

Use and Care Instructions

Dollchunk items are delicate and should be treated as such. Each piece is handcrafted in New York using materials such as solid sterling silver, ceramic,, hand-placed Czech crystals, brass and acrylic. Please consult our product descriptions online for information on specific materials. Avoid contact with direct sunlight, water, hand sanitizer, lotions and other liquids and be extra careful not to drop your jewelry.

Please follow these guidelines to avoid issues, and as with all jewelry, know your individual skin's sensitivities and allergies.

Water: Do NOT submerge your Dollchunk jewelry pieces in water. Do not shower or swim in them. Silver and other metals may rust or become tarnished. Remember to remove your Dollchunk before washing your hands, showering/bathing, and swimming. If your Dollchunk jewelry becomes wet, allow it to dry thoroughly before wearing again.

Chemicals: Avoid exposing your Dollchunk jewelry to harsh chemicals and cleaning products. This includes hand sanitizers, lotions, oils, perfume, hair spray, cleaning solutions, nail polish remover, and any similar products. These and other solvent chemicals will react to silvers, metals and other materials, which may cause degradation, and in some cases, may result in skin irritation or allergic reactions.

Sunlight/UV Rays: Store your Dollchunk jewelry out of direct sunlight. Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause discoloration and degradation. This includes UV exposure during gel and acrylic nail treatments as well as other types of UV light exposure.

Cleaning: Given jewelry is worn in close contact with your skin for prolonged periods of time, it's important to keep your Dollchunk jewelry clean so that oil, dirt, bacteria or other irritants won't build up on your jewelry. This is especially true with rings, which are in direct contact with your skin. We recommend using warm water, a mild dish detergent and a soft cloth to gently clean your Dollchunk jewelry on a frequent basis. Always allow it to dry thoroughly before continuing use.

We also understand that accidents happen. If needed, we will repair your item one time, within one year of your purchase, complimentary at our Doll Hospital. After one year of your purchase date, or if you have subsequent repair needs, we will repair your item as determined on a case-by-case basis with shipping costs and repair costs paid by the customer. Please contact us at customerservice@dollchunk.com.
