Mid Victorian Diamond Bow Brooch in Silver and Gold; Circa 1860

An elegant Mid Victorian bow brooch. Masterfully designed to capture the grace and movement of soft fabric and yet entirely created from silver and gold. The naturalistic form flows beautifully, with sculpted loops and gentle folds that seem to flutter with life.

Every curve of the bow has been studded with old cut diamonds, their hand cut facets radiating a romantic, candlelit sparkle. At the heart of the piece lies a significant central diamond, anchoring the design and drawing the eye with its brilliance.

The Victorians adored the bow motif. Its was a symbol of love, unity, and devotion and often exchanged as tokens of affection. This example embodies that sentiment perfectly, blending symbolic meaning with exquisite craftsmanship.

The combination of silver settings and gold was typical of fine mid 19th century jewellery, designed to enhance the cool gleam of the diamonds while preserving the luxurious warmth of gold beneath.

A brooch of exceptional sparkle and romantic form and it remains as captivating today as it was over 160 years ago.
