This captivating vintage brooch, shaped like a sword, is crafted in 18K yellow gold, symbolizing honor, strength, and virtue. Set with nine old mine and single brilliant cut diamonds, its unique design includes a hidden pin mechanism. When fastened, the brooch creates the illusion of a sword cutting through fabric, with the pin disappearing into a hollow blade. Dating from the 1950s, this striking piece reflects mid-century artistry while evoking a timeless symbol of power and liberty, enhanced by the elegant shimmer of natural diamonds.

Theme: Sword - A sword is a bladed weapon (edged weapon) typically measuring more than 50 cm (20 inches) in length, primarily used for cutting or thrusting. Every sword consists of a blade and a handle, known as the hilt. The blade can be straight or curved, single-edged, double-edged, or pointed. Hilts vary significantly in style and length, often featuring protective guards for the hand. The detailed design of a sword is influenced by the historical period or geographical region in which it was created.
The practice of using a sword is referred to as swordsmanship or fencing. While the basic principles of sword use have remained consistent throughout history, specific techniques have varied across cultures and eras due to differences in blade design and intended use. Swords hold significant prestige in mythology, literature, and history, often serving as symbols of wealth and honor for their owners.
The sword is regarded as an emblem of military honor, inspiring the bearer to pursue justice, virtue, and nobility. It also symbolizes liberty and strength. During the Middle Ages, the sword was sometimes seen as a symbol of the word of God, and in Freemasonry, swords are used in certain rituals.
The word "sword" derives from the Old English swerd, related to Old High German swert and Old Norse swer, all tracing back to the Proto-Indo-European root swer- meaning "to wound" or "to cut."
