Bow Pin with Old Mine Diamond c1880
Sculpted with incredible detail, this antique bow pin is brought to life with its realistic ribbon which softly bends and loops just as fabric does! Crafted in warm yellow gold round a century and a half ago, its fabulous patina highlights its refined texture and the shining fleur d'lis motifs that dot the ribbon. A glittering old mine cut diamond tops the end of a pin that strikes through the center of the bow, like a gift worthy of the spectacular presentation! This Victorian era cutie is intact with its original security pin and chain, a rare find these days though a standard feature of brooches of the era, as safety catches were not invented yet. This additional pin safeguarded against loss should the main pin come undone! Today it adds a bit of swag to the charming piece and remains functional as ever. This perfect little bow makes a lovely addition to any collection, beautifully adorning any look with antique sweetness!
