The Arrow brooch typifies a form of iconography popular in the late 1910s, also seen in hat pins. The pin of the brooch ingeniously forms the body of the arrow itself, with a platinum tip set with calibrated sapphires fixed to one end of it. The fletching at the other end takes the form of a row of sapphires, also calibrated, and two feathers with barbs depicted by flame motifs of rose-cut diamonds.
