In the 17th century, a bow brooch worn close to the heart conveyed that the wearer was in a loving relationship. The Victorian buckle bracelets and brooches represented a committed lock-tight bond and Irish Claddaughs were two clasped hands denoting a trusting and loyal relationship. But coquettish French women saw a bow pin to represent the feminine mystique…a simple tug at one end of the ribbon and the ties were lost.
This art deco replica pin is encrusted with dozens of glistening marcasite stones. 3”. Antiqued silver-plated copper.
