Angel, your pin is very lovely, but was likely made after 1945. Schiap spent the war years in America and any base metals in 1945 had been diverted to the war effort. Based on other Schiap jewellery I have seen, it looks to me as though it may have been made in her later years, likely early 1950s.

IAngel, you are lucky to have had that connection! If your grandmother had received any of her earlier Surrealist inspired pieces, those are treasures I would love to see pictures of!
