Diameter 1.5 cm.

In Victorian England, social interaction between the two sexes was almost impossible, outside of ordinary family life or marriage. Every marriageable young man and woman was therefore accompanied on their walks and meetings, and since physical contact, even holding hands, was comme i'll faut, it was quite difficult to get to know each other.
They therefore began to use small brooches as an occasion.
For every gentleman will then wave the bee or the fly away from the woman's clothes, and then you might be lucky enough to touch her.

These little flies screw into a thick coat and act as such.
They are in good condition.
