I've been looking again at the brooch and it appears to me to be a flower. The "stem" is fashioned with a diagonal "cut" as real flower stems are usually cut. The pearls could be flower buds and a ribbon around the "stem." --Previous Message-- : Also possible of course although i really : don't see it apart from a few petals perhaps : but the pearls as flower buds? Anyway : Whatever it is it sure is nice and obviously : a conversational piece! : : --Previous Message-- : 1. Sword brooches do exist, but do we see : any : sign of a sword? The handle, the blade? it : is a stem IMO : 2. knots always mean love. : : : : :
