Victorian Diamond Cupid's Arrow Brooch

About the Item

Dating to the late 19th century, this romantic Cupid's arrow brooch glistens with a rose-cut diamond tip and fletching, while a luminous old mine-cut diamond cluster shines at its heart. Crafted in silver topped gold, this refined piece embodies the Victorian fascination with symbolic jewelry, where Cupid’s arrow was used as a symbol of being “love struck”. Created in an era when jewelry conveyed sentiments that words could not capture, it remains a timeless emblem of love and affection.  Metal: silver topped gold Measurements: 2 3/8" x 3/8"  Diamonds: estimated .70 total carats, bright and eye clean Weight: 4.8 grams Markings: none

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...
