What does a safety pin symbolize?
1 Answer

What a safety pin symbolizes is largely a matter of personal opinion. In recent years, the pin has come to symbolize support for the rights of marginalized people. Historically, people associated safety pins with babies and motherhood because of the pins used to hold cloth diapers in place. Shop a collection of safety pin jewelry on 1stDibs.
