     Now in accordance to  FIG. 18 , it shows an upside down view of the clothing pin assembly H. This embodiment has the same reference numerals as shown and described in  FIG. 17 . Therefore, these reference numerals will not be discussed to overcome redundancy of the above discussed description as explained for  FIG. 17 . However, the only reference numeral not discussed above for  FIG. 17  is the bottom surface  101  of the exotic and authentic or natural and polished wood member  98 . Also,  FIG. 18  shows the friction clutch fastener  104  being engaged with the pin pointed tip end  103  into the friction clutch opening  106  of the shank fastener pin assembly  102 . This allows the clothing pin assembly H to be fastened to a clothing piece for holding a tie in place or utilized as a brooch, clothing or a hat decorative ornamental pin, etc. 
     Please note that decorative ornamental tie pins, brooches, clothing pins or hat pins are well known in the art, but none of the aforementioned and disclosed prior art teaches the unique exotic and authentic or natural and polished wood members and the exotic and authentic or natural feather arrangements  6  and  6 ′ as described in  FIGS. 1-18 . Note that the feather arrangements  6  and  6 ′ can be of different types of feathers, a single feather or a plurality of colorful feathers, if desired. 
     Furthermore, it is to be clearly understood that the feather arrangements  6  or  6 ′ as shown in  FIGS. 1-18  could be replaced or utilized in combination with other types of arrangements selected from and not limited to the group consisting of colorful shells, butterfly wings, leaves, flowers, fossils, antlers, horns, bones and teeth to name just a few. 
     According to the present invention all of the jewelry stones or gems as shown in  FIGS. 1-18  may be selected from and not limited to the aforementioned selected group consisting of different sizes, shapes and types of precious and semi-precious stones or gems, such as crystals, diamonds, emeralds, fossil coral, garnet, gems, jasper, jadeite, pearls, opal, quartz, rubies, sapphire, Tiger&#39;s eye, topaz, tourmaline and many other types of jewelry stones or gems.
