About this work
Pin (or safety pin) of partially gilded silver in the shape of a bow, decorated with seven imitation gemstones. The stones are of glass, set in a dense case on foil and mounted with a rose-cut to imitate diamonds. Four eyes are located on the top and bottom, allowing the pin to be attached to a garment. Possibly once a ring?
