{"product_id":"sol-spur-pin","title":"Sol Spur Pin Grande in Sterling Silver","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Sol Spur Pin Grande is a sculptural .925 sterling silver sun brooch set with a natural stone, made by hand in our workshop in Taxco, Guerrero, Mexico.\u003c\/strong\u003e It's the larger of our two Spur Pins.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Spur takes its name from its silhouette: the rays fan out asymmetrically, short on one side and sweeping to a point on the other — the shape of a spur. It's the restless version of the sun, caught mid-turn.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWe cut the rays from sterling sheet using \u003cem\u003ecalado\u003c\/em\u003e, the pierced openwork technique Taxco silversmiths have used for generations, and build the piece in double sheet so it holds its shape.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eChoose your stone: \u003cstrong\u003elapis lazuli, malachite, black onyx, pyrite or tiger eye.\u003c\/strong\u003e Each is natural and hand-selected by us. The pyrite is left uncut, in its raw crystalline form; the others are polished.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChoose your back.\u003c\/strong\u003e A traditional pin with a secure locking clasp, for jackets, coats, hats and structured garments. Or a magnetic back, which holds without ever puncturing the fabric — the one for cashmere, silk, fine knitwear, or anything you'd rather not put a hole through.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWear it on a lapel, a jacket, a scarf, a bag — or the band of a hat. We make jewelry that moves freely between object, adornment and the way you dress.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: .925 sterling silver, hand-polished\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConstruction: hand-cut calado openwork in double sheet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStone: natural lapis lazuli, malachite, black onyx, pyrite or tiger eye, 3 cm (1.2\") diameter, cut by our lapidary in Mexico\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRays: 7 flat rays in a spur, longest 27 mm, shortest 10 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: approx. 8 g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBacking: locking pin clasp, or neodymium magnetic back (26 x 3 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSize: the larger of our two Spur Pins\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade in: our workshop in Taxco, Guerrero, Mexico\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade to order: 4–6 weeks from order to delivery\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShipping: worldwide.

Polish it with a silver cloth to bring back the shine, or leave it darker — we like it both ways. Keep the stone away from perfume and household cleaners. If you choose pyrite, keep it dry — it's iron-based and holds its flash that way.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eQuestions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat's the difference between the Spur and the Sol Pin?\u003c\/strong\u003e The silhouette. The Sol Pin is symmetrical — the sun at rest. The Spur is asymmetric, short on one side and sweeping to a point on the other. Same collection, different temperament.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy is the pyrite raw and the other stones polished?\u003c\/strong\u003e Because pyrite is more beautiful uncut. Polishing it would erase the crystalline structure that makes it what it is.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat's the difference between the pin back and the magnetic back?\u003c\/strong\u003e The pin back is a traditional clasp with a secure lock — right for jackets, coats, hats and anything structured. The magnetic back holds without piercing the fabric at all, which is what you want on silk, cashmere or fine knits.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"carolina spratling","offers":[{"title":"Magnetic clasp \/ Malachite","offer_id":42958960230496,"sku":"SOL-P-M-04-IM-SPUR","price":230.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Magnetic clasp \/ Lapis lazuli","offer_id":42979838394464,"sku":"SOL-P-L-04-IM-SPUR","price":230.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Magnetic clasp \/ Onyx","offer_id":42979838427232,"sku":"SOL-P-ON-04-IM-SPUR","price":230.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Magnetic clasp \/ Pyrite","offer_id":42979838460000,"sku":"SOL-P-PY-P3-IM-SPUR","price":230.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Magnetic clasp \/ Tiger Eye","offer_id":43103869763680,"sku":null,"price":230.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Pin Back \/ Malachite","offer_id":42979977396320,"sku":"SOL-P-M-04-PN-SPUR","price":230.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Pin Back \/ Lapis lazuli","offer_id":42979977429088,"sku":"SOL-P-L-04-PN-SPUR","price":230.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Pin Back \/ Onyx","offer_id":42979977461856,"sku":"SOL-P-ON-04-PN-SPUR","price":230.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Pin Back \/ Pyrite","offer_id":42979977494624,"sku":"SOL-P-PY-P3-PN-SPUR","price":230.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Pin Back \/ Tiger Eye","offer_id":43103869796448,"sku":null,"price":230.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0667\/8947\/4400\/files\/Sol_pin_spur.jpg?v=1784079081","url":"https:\/\/carolinasstudio.com\/products\/sol-spur-pin","provider":"Carolina S Studio","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
