Ribbon Bow Brooch with Albert Clip in 9ct Gold

An elegant and versatile Edwardian ribbon bow brooch, c.1910, crafted in 9ct yellow gold. The brooch is designed with fluid, three-dimensional "folded" gold loops, mimicking the drape of a silk ribbon.

Suspended from a central jump ring is a fully functional swivel "dog-clip" or Albert clip. Originally intended to hold a lady’s pocket watch or locket, this feature makes the brooch a perfect "connector" piece for the modern collector, allowing for the attachment of charms, pendants, or fobs. A quintessential example of Edwardian ingenuity, combining decorative feminine aesthetic with practical antique function.
