This Victorian brooch takes the form of a 9ct yellow gold bar pin with a central bow motif and a dangling heart drop. The piece is set with blue cabochon turquoise stones, a white seed pearl at the knot of the ribbon, a sturdy metal pin closure mechanism, and rests upon an off-white padded lining inside a dark box with a visible hinge. The brooch measures 3.4 cm in total length, with the heart measuring 1 cm by 0.8 cm and the bow measuring 1.4 cm by 1.2 cm. Dating from circa 1900, the design incorporates a dangling heart and a decorative ribbon bow. The gold surfaces display a polished yellow hue contrasting with the vibrant blue of the turquoise and the soft lustre of the pearl. Today, such a brooch serves as a personal accessory to fasten garments or scarves, or joins a collection of antique jewellery.

FAQs

Bow and heart motifs gained widespread popularity during the Victorian period as symbols of affection, love, and unity. The bow represented a tied connection between individuals, while the heart drop added a sentiment of devotion often gifted during courtship or milestones.

Brooches from this era commonly featured yellow gold alloys set with natural seed pearls and turquoise cabochons. Artisans constructed pieces using hand-shaped gold sheet ribbons, wirework bar pins, and simple tube hinges with c-clasps.

Authentic pieces usually display age-appropriate patina, hand-set gemstones, and period-specific pin mechanisms such as extended pins and simple c-catch fasteners. Marks may include maker initials or carat stamps, though many genuine gold items from this era remain unhallmarked.

An antique brooch can be worn on the lapel of a tailored blazer, fastened at the centre collar of a button-down shirt, or pinned to a silk scarf. Smaller bar brooches also function well when grouped together on heavy fabrics or knitwear.

Turquoise and seed pearls are porous and sensitive to moisture and chemicals. Clean gently using a soft, dry microfibre cloth, avoiding liquid cleaners, ultrasonic baths, or direct contact with perfumes and hairsprays.
