I like mysterious vintage pieces and this rang a kind of bell. There are a number of places called St Ives and I don't know in truth which old girls' association it refers to, but as the real Pippin and Mawgie live in the neck of the woods of the Cornish St Ives, I thought it was nice for them.
This pin brooch was made by a famous jewellers called Fattorini and Sons who made the absolute original FA Cup. The Fattorini daughters lived in the same area as my late grandad in Edwardian times and I still have the signed photos they gave him in October 1908, as they both liked him. So the pin brooch kind of links everyone up in a magic way!
