Rather than being stone-set, its surface is \u003cstrong\u003esculpted with numerous small faceted or diamond-cut impressions\u003c\/strong\u003e, producing a sparkling effect as the metal catches the light. The same decorative treatment continues around the heart setting, giving the piece the appearance of jewelled work without applied stones.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSuspended freely beneath the bow is a warm orange heart-shaped cabochon in a scalloped, textured setting. The heart has a rich opaque-to-softly translucent appearance. Its precise material has not been tested, so we would describe it conservatively as an \u003cstrong\u003eorange cabochon\u003c\/strong\u003e rather than attributing it to amber, resin or another material.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe combination of bow, heart and safety-pin construction gives the brooch the romantic character associated with \u003cstrong\u003esweetheart jewellery\u003c\/strong\u003e, while its long linear profile makes it an unusual decorative piece for a lapel, scarf, knitwear or jacket.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBased on its construction and styling, we would tentatively date it to approximately the \u003cstrong\u003e1930s–1940s\u003c\/strong\u003e, although an earlier or somewhat later date cannot be completely excluded without identifying marks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlease note the box is not included and is just shown for scale purposes. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"RE:VELVET","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53493771075850,"sku":"PEN800","price":75.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0864\/6069\/4794\/files\/1930sBroochPendantambe.png?v=1786113172","url":"https:\/\/revelvet.co.uk\/products\/1930s-40s-sweetheart-bow-orange-heart-safety-pin-brooch","provider":"Re:Velvet","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
