View Rhinestone Pearl Bow Brooch Pot Metal Gold Tone 1940s Vintage with current marketplace pricing, condition, product images and item details. These bars hold graduated clear rhinestones in cast settings, adding refined sparkle above and below the central pearl. Bow brooches were especially popular during this era, often worn at the shoulder or neckline as a feminine yet structured accent. This striking 1940s brooch is a beautiful example of wartime mixed-metal construction and dimensional bow design. A luminous faux pearl cabochon anchors the center, framed by sweeping gold tone ribbon loops that curve and fold with sculptural movement. The bow is bold and dimensional, catching light along every polished edge. Behind the ribbon, silver tone vertical bars create architectural structure and contrast. These bars hold graduated clear rhinestones in cast settings, adding refined sparkle above and below the central pearl. The silver elements appear to be pot metal, a zinc-based alloy widely used in late 1930s and 1940s costume jewelry, while the bow itself is likely stamped metal with gold plating. This combination of cast and formed components is highly characteristic of mid-century wartime production. The layered construction, mixed metals, and tailored ribbon motif strongly support a 1940s origin. Bow brooches were especially popular during this era, often worn at the shoulder or neckline as a feminine yet structured accent. At 2 inches, this example has real presence while remaining easy to style. How to Style It Pin it at the shoulder of a structured blazer for a true 1940s silhouette. Add it to a cardigan or sweater to elevate everyday wear. Wear it at the neckline of a black dress to highlight the pearl center. Pair it with mixed-metal jewelry to echo the dual-tone construction.
