Grand sentimentalist brooch or pin, just a smidge over 1\" north to south, and with a pleasing heft of 4.3 grams, not one of this tiny nearly weightless pieces! Quality - all the tiny pearls have a shimmery orient, and the diamond is good sized, perhaps 12 points - 15 points, an old mine cut or Old European cut jewel. Really a lovely piece! This is a great sentimentalist jewel! Jewels had some many meanings, their presence on the wearer showed not just a status, but also a belief system. The following are from the dictionary of classical meanings and representations: The Heart:Represented love, devotion, and deep affection.The Crescent Moon:Symbolized the goddess Luna, femininity, intuition, and the guiding light of love.The Star:Stood for guidance, hope, and direction.Likely this pin was for a sweetheart who saw a special person go off to war or college - and she would wear the pin to declare her commitment to another.It\'s very romantic and sweet!The brooch itself is in very fine condition, no damage, light expected wear - it\'s approximately 100 years old! But, it\'s ready to wear and or give as a gift! Fab!Sentimental, engagement, girlfriend, love, etc. - so appropriate for the special person to receive as a gift to be worn near the heart.Marked \"14K\" as shown.
