This pin is a simple design but an unusual one. It is a large 11cm semicircle—or it might be described as one-third of a full moon. This rarely seen pin was, according to the Georg Jensen company, designed by Gail Spence for Hans Hansen in the late 1980s. Hans Hansen became part of Georg Jensen in 1992. Since it has both hallmarks it was probably produced around that time. It is no longer in production.
