This 18k yellow gold arrow-shaped brooch is centered by a round, cream coloured pearl. Its tip and fletching are studded with rose-cut diamonds.
The arrow famously is the weapon of Cupid. In the mid-19th Century, and well up to the first half of the 20th Century, brooches shaped like arrows were a very popular gift between lovers.
This brooch could easily be converted into a pendant: feel free to reach out to discuss this option.
