Beautiful pair of 19th Century 18K Gold Bow Brooches
A charming duo of Victorian-era 18K yellow gold bow brooches, embodying the refined grace and romantic spirit of the 19th century. Each bow is distinct yet complementary, offering endless versatility and style.
The first bow sparkles with 24 rose-cut diamonds (approx. 0.2ct total) and a blue sapphire (approx. 0.2ct) at its heart, while the second is adorned with 11 natural seed pearls, each accentuating the soft curves of the gold ribbon.
Both feature a hook on the reverse, allowing you to suspend a pendant. You can also pass a chain through the folds of the bow to wear them as pendants. (see photos) The pair can also be pinned together on a tie or jacket for a playful, fashion-forward look — perfect for creating different styles depending on your mood.
During the Victorian era, the bow motif was very popular since it is the symbol of love, unity, and the tying together of affection — a sentiment beautifully captured in these elegant jewels.
