This is a typical member of my collection: a sterling silver bird, this one a scissor-tailed flycatcher, Oklahoma's state bird. The impressive features of this pin are the wide and nicely articulated wingspan and the long, long tail feathers. I got it at the gift shop at the Sam Noble Oklahoma Museum of Natural History. Plenty of others shop there as well; for the first time, I saw another woman wearing a copy of a piece of jewelry I own. I sucked it up.
This pin is fun and easy to wear because it's catchy but not too fussy or too heavy. I have it here on a very old (ain't sayin' how old) copen blue velvet jacket by Givenchy (who's probably dead by now). Notice how the tail feathers reach past the edge of the lapel.
