A beautifully detailed vintage bow brooch with generous loops, softly curved ribbon tails and a scattering of sparkling diamantés. A dark, pewter-toned finish, the bow features raised dotted borders along its ribbon edges, a neatly wrapped centre and a mixture of clear stones and rounded metal studs. The darker finish brings out the detail in the metalwork, while the diamantés catch the light with a little movement.

This brooch would look great pinned to the lapel of a jacket, at the neckline of a blouse or on a coat. You could also position it on a substantial scarf, provided the fabric can comfortably support its weight. The traditional ribbon-bow shape gives it a romantic touch, balanced by the darker metal finish.

ABOUT APRICOT GIFT BOUTIQUE
This exclusive range of earrings originates from Apricot Gift Boutique, a store established circa 1984 in the heart of the beachside suburb of Mairangi Bay, New Zealand. The store was owned and operated by Colombian artist Helizabeth Borrero de King, offering a snapshot of her love of fashion, style, and all that glitters. A gift and jewellery store with a little taste of everything, it catered to a diverse group of locals, fashionistas, and supported artisans. The store was known for embracing community and culture, as well as bringing a unique overseas perspective to the area. Brought to you in this collection are some of the surviving pieces from the store's closure in the early 1990s. Each piece is unique and brings joy to the wearer.
