I was a wonderin' what these are based on? I've seen bone pins, but I can't recall any these small. :D And I have LOTS of small bone pieces that this would work for.....

This example happens to be 16cm. Mine are 9.5 and the other is 10cm. Smaller to wear for dress pins. The larger ones are for cloaks.

I'm not such a good detail carver yet so my pins will be much plainer.
