Pink Ribbon Gemstone Lapel Pin
This item is a small lapel pin or brooch designed in the distinctive awareness ribbon shape, most commonly associated with breast cancer awareness. The piece is constructed with a metal base, likely gold-toned or perhaps low-karat gold, and measures approximately 15mm to 20mm in height. It features a channel or pavé setting of circular faceted gemstones in a vibrant pink or magenta hue. The stones appear to be either pink sapphires, tourmalines, or high-quality cubic zirconia, though a definitive identification would require a gemological loupe. The construction shows a slight overlap at the top of the loop, mimicking the physical folding of a fabric ribbon. The pink stones are uniformly sized and cover the entire front face of the ribbon. In terms of condition, the piece appears well-maintained with no visibly missing stones or significant metal oxidation from this distance, though a light patina is expected. This style of jewelry became highly popular in the late 1990s through the early 2000s and remains a staple in philanthropic fine and costume jewelry. The craftsmanship suggests a commercial production designed for durability and daily wear.
