Vintage Sterling Dancing Goddess Pin

This broach is an exquisite, mid-century piece that is in very good vintage condition. A little history … The term “Siam Sterling” refers to silver jewelry with a black inlay made of copper, lead, and silver. To create the piece, a jewelry maker must first engrave or etch a design onto sterling silver and then carefully apply the inlay by hand. On June 24, 1939, Siam was changed to Thailand. Thailand was briefly renamed Siam from 1946 to 1948, after which it once again reverted to Thailand.
