Late 19th-century arrow brooch crafted from non-precious gilded metal, set with coral and pearls. It features floral ornamentation, a long pin, and an open C-clasp, elements consistent with a clear European representative piece of Victorian sentimental jewelry.
In Victorian jewelry, the arrow could be symbolically associated with Cupid, desire, and sudden or achieved love. Jewelry from this period frequently used flowers, hearts, snakes, hands, and other motifs as small sentimental codes. For this piece, the most prudent interpretation would be that of a Victorian arrow brooch, a possible symbol of love and personal direction.
