Victorian Arrow Unisex Brooch Diamonds Pearls Gold Silver Original Box, 1895
Located in Herzelia, Tel Aviv
Victorian Gold with Silver Rose-cut Diamonds and Pearls Arrow Brooch. Created around 1895. Presented in the original box. Highly collectable item. Arrow has been always considered as a sign of love. Once it was common to communicate a message via pin or brooch. Nowadays this art is lost, but we can surely start a new tradition. For Example, an arrow worn down is definitely a “no” answer. Arrow that appears on your jacket up is a “yes”. Suits both women and men. This a perfect example and a representative item of the Victorian era, when both Ladies and Gents were wearing jewelry. A true unisex brooch. Former Secretary of state Madeleine Albright...
