A rich goldenrod yellow citrine glistens at the center of this playful bow pin from the 1940s! True to the retro aesthetic of the period, this bow is askant and slightly asymmetrical, yet balanced with clean, highly polished ribbon-like gold in two tones, with half of it set in rose gold and the other half in yellow! The ribbon is flat and wide, ensuring that the gold goes a long way in creating a substantial piece without being heavy. This style became popular during WWII when fashion took a backseat to the war effort and many women went to work in uniforms. Oversized, playful jewelry designs were relied upon to bring levity and color to their ensembles. Decades later, this exemplary brooch continues to add a radiant whimsy to whatever it adorns!
