Vintage Enamel Bee Brooch Set of Three

Description
A set of three 1960s bee scatter pins, one larger and two small, made to be worn together as a little swarm. Their wings are painted in pale blue enamel feathered with teal, and their bodies are banded in black against silver-tone faux marcasite. Pink rhinestone eyes give each one a bright, curious look. Scatter pins like these were meant to be placed freely across a collar, lapel, or hat.
