This charming vintage Owl lapel pin is crafted from solid 14k yellow gold and features a beautifully detailed, textured finish that mimics feathers and captures a classic retro aesthetic. Its most striking features are the two approximately 3.2 mm luminous natural Pearl eyes that give a whimsical, expressive personality. Measuring approximately 17 x 12 mm and weighing a comfortable 1.64 grams (without a clutch back), this finely sculpted brooch makes a subtle yet distinctive statement. The back has a plate stamped with a maker's mark and 'K14'. This is a perfect, lightweight accessory to elevate a blazer lapel, tie, or scarf, appealing to collectors of unique vintage animal jewelry.
Pearls, unique among gemstones, are organic creations formed within the shells of mollusks. Their soft, iridescent luster and classic beauty have captivated cultures for millennia. Composed of layers of nacre, Pearls vary in shape, size, and color, with white and cream being the most traditional. With a relatively low hardness on the Mohs scale, they require gentle care. Valued for their natural elegance and timeless appeal, Pearls are a symbol of purity and sophistication.
