Bow Brooch with Teardrop Pearl

This item is an antique or vintage brooch fashioned in the shape of a bow, crafted from what appears to be a polished yellow metal, possibly gold, gold-filled, or brass, given its warm, lustrous tone. The bow features a multi-looped design, giving it a three-dimensional and somewhat fluid appearance, typical of pieces designed to simulate fabric bows. The surface of the metal shows a smooth finish with some reflections, indicating it is likely polished. Attached to the center knot of the bow is a single, suspended teardrop-shaped pearl. The pearl exhibits a creamy, slightly iridescent white to light blue hue, suggesting it could be a natural freshwater pearl or a high-quality imitation. It has a smooth surface with natural imperfections, typical for pearls. The brooch is equipped with a functional pin mechanism on the reverse side, allowing it to be securely fastened to clothing. The overall condition appears good, with no obvious signs of significant damage such as dents or heavy scratches, although minor surface wear consistent with age and use may be present upon closer inspection. The style suggests a mid-20th-century aesthetic, possibly Art Deco or Retro era, emphasizing elegance and classic motifs. The craftsmanship appears to be of good quality, with neatly formed loops and a secure attachment for the pearl.
