Curiously timeless
Very sweet 14K gold pearl diamonds bow brooch
Bow motif is absolutely one of the motifs which dear to us the most. In this beautiful brooch from the early 20th century, white and yellow set the tone as pearls and diamonds sparkle in feminine forms; while the yellow gold adds more luxurious and festival vibes into the design. Together, itself looks a carefully wrapped gift, waiting patiently for its next care taker.
Perhaps the best-loved gems of all time, pearls are treasures from the Earth’s streams, rivers, lakes, seas, and oceans, and they’ve always embodied the mystery, power, and life-sustaining nature of water. The spherical shape of some pearls also led many cultures to associate this gem with the moon. In ancient China, pearls were believed to guarantee protection from fire and fire-breathing dragons. In Europe, they symbolized modesty, chastity, and purity.
