FREE: Unique! Vintage Gold Bar Pin with Baroque Pearl

The listing, Unique! Vintage Gold Bar Pin with Baroque Pearl has ended.

This vintage brooch is really special and unique!!

Gold wire-wrapped bar features a large, gold off-center wire-wrapped bow and large baroque pearl dangle. I don't know if the gold is real (I doubt it), but I believe that the pearl is natural. My grandmother had several authentic baroque pearl items; this is the only one I'll be putting up for auction.

The bright gold bar is about 4-1/2" wide and 1/4" tall. The bow is almost 2" wide and 1" tall. The fastening pin on the back is about 3" long.

The pearl is quite large - almost 1" long and 1/2" wide. The pearl can be removed - it dangles from a hook on the back of the pin (see pictures 8 & 9) - converting the pin to a simple bar/bow pin for daytime wear. The pearl is very secure once the pin is closed.

This is an absolutely fantastic, classic pin! It is in excellent condition and the clasp is in fine working order. It needs a good cleaning - I don't know a thing about safely cleaning pearls.

I love this piece but it's not something I'll wear. I don't know much about it except it was in my grandmother's jewelry box. I've not been able to find anything comparable out there and the piece is not signed. I hope the auction is won by someone who will love it!

All Listia rules apply; the item is sold "as is" although it is in fantastic condition for its age.
