Antique Bow Brooch With Sapphire, Diamonds & Pearls

Put a bow on that next outfit with this fabulous platinum bar-brooch: just the piece you need to dress up a scarf or lapel. Going back to the turn of the 20th century brooches and pins were the best selling jewelry item- women wore more elegant clothes, and pins like this were both functional and beautiful. This particular “bar pin” is so named due to the horizontal layout, which in this case features a slightly bowed design. At the center of the bow rests a bezel-set natural Sapphire of fine quality in a blueberry blue hue. It is flanked by adorably small seed Pearls and old European cut Diamond accents, all of which set into hand-fabricated platinum wire. While the quality of the gems is top notch, the workmanship displayed is even more incredible. This was a definite luxury item in 1910, and it continues to be one for the lucky new owner who snatches up this bargain today. Details: antique platinum bar-pin brooch set with natural 1ct oval Blue Sapphire (likely heat treated) and .40ctw antique cut Diamonds (VS GH) and seed Pearl trim; 14k yellow gold pin stem, American c.1910.
