This brooch oscillates between a bow and a cloverleaf. The basic gold shape resembles a draped, folded ribbon, shining in the soft light of small pearls and the more brilliant gleam of white diamonds. A small pearl in the center serves as a knot for the resulting bow. Small brooches like these, in figurative shapes, were a must in the Victorian lady's jewelry box. Not only could they be useful for holding scarves and bows in place or fastening the collars of fashionable high-necked blouses - adorning oneself was also a social necessity. For example, it would have been considered extremely rude to accept an invitation to tea without wearing jewellery: elegance was a way of showing respect for the hostess. A gold brooch like this one, one or two bracelets and a few rings would have adorned the society lady's afternoon dress without being considered too ostentatious. We were able to discover this beautiful little piece of jewellery in London. Its hallmarks show that it was also made in Great Britain.
