911 Sterling Silver Commemorative Lapel Pin

This is a really neat commemorative pin made in honor of the Twin Tower attack on September 11, 2001 in New York City.  It is made of Sterling silver and features an American flag on the right tower, with the towers joined in the middle by a ribbon motif.  What I like about this pin is that it looks handmade (which it may be) and its styling is rather primitive.

Through my research, I learned that lapel pins are the most popular form  of commemorative jewelry.  Commemorative jewelry is made to acknowledge historic events and advancements, and is often gender neutral, so anyone can wear it! 

Feel free to contact me if you are interested in purchasing this piece.  Questions, comments, and additional information are always appreciated.  My online shop on http://www.ebay.com/ is coming soon.
