English term

Stick Pin

English to French Art/Literary Art, Arts & Crafts, Painting Jewellery
Does anyone know how to translate this term: Stick pin

Definition: A brooch with decorations on the face of a long pin, held with a fitting on the underside

This is different from a pin brooch (translated as far as I can gather by broche à épingle). But I seem to find the same translation for both terms!

Thanks in advance for your help.

Véronique
Proposed translations (French)
3 épingle a cravates / épingle

Veronique Many thanks for the feedback!

The thing is, it's not a hat pin or a tie pin, it's a brooch. In the end, I've found that it's called a 'broche tige' as opposed to a 'broche épingle' ou 'broche barrette' which is a pin brooch! It a particular type of brooch quite old fashioned.
Thanks for everybody's contribution.

Et rebelote cravate avec un "t" et non pas avec 2.
Temps de faire une pause !

Les souvenirs de jeunesse m'ont submergee ... et j'en ai oublie le B.A.-ba. Selon la photo de oneinhundred, je suis bien sur d'accord, epingle a cravattes, ou a chapeaux.

@ Tony You're right , that is exactly what I found on the net : c'est une longue aiguille avec la tête décorée , pour chapeaux ou cravattes , j'en ai trouvé plein.en français il faut chercher épingles

Yes, but... that's not what a 'stick pin' is at all! You're both talking about badges, but a 'stick pin' is very specifically an item of jewellery, with the specific characteristic that it tends to be long and narrow.

There seem in fact to be 2 different types (I'm wondering if this is a Transatlantic thing?)

Here's one that is just a pin with a decorative head; they don't all of them have a 'fitting' to hold them in — this is what I'd once have called a 'hat pin':

Then there is the other type, which seems to fit Asker's description better, and is indeed more like a tie-pin:

However, this latter type seems to be surprisingly absent on the 'Net, so I'm not sure...

Avec Mont Aiguille Petite épinglette le plus souvent en métal qui se fixe facilement sur n’importe quel vêtement, le pin’s a envahi petits et grands enfants aux quatre coins de la planète. Publicitaire, commémoratif, il peut être donné par les organismes et firmes qui le distribuent ou gagné, voire acheté par le consommateur. Véritable phénomène, les collectionneurs lui vouent un véritable culte, et certains pins très rares se monnayent à prix d’or !

Je crains qu'en France du moins nous n'ayons jamais trouvé mieux que pin's :
