Evoking a world of bygone elegance this delightfully sentimental antique 935 silver and paste brooch depicts cupid's arrow and lucky shamrock. Traditionally worn by a bride during the Victorian and Edwardian eras it symbolizes great love and good fortune in the marriage.
Uncommonly pretty the brooch is rendered in high grade 935 silver and fashioned into a curling arrow flying over a larger than life sprig of shamrock all studded with individually set sparkling paste 'diamonds'.
The brooch benefits from a sturdy pin back, also in silver, with a rollover safety clasp which, is a later replacement. A particularly lovely example of this type of love token jewelry, perfect for wear by the wedding bride, or even the groom on his cravat, something old and the perfect gift!
