World War ll "V for Victory" Sapphrie & Pearl Brooch | 14K Gold Convertible Pin | 1940s Estate Jewelry | Rare Patriotic Jewelry
$1,915.00
A rare World War II "V for Victory" brooch, crafted in 14K gold and set with sapphires and pearls--an elegant piece that carries both visual presence and historical meaning.
During the 1940s, the "V" emerged as an international symbol of resilience and triumph. While widely produced in costume form, fine gold examples such as this were far less common, making them especially compelling to collectors today.
The design is both beautiful an ingenious. Worn as a brooch, it forms a bold "V" set with richly colored blue sapphires and luminous pearls. It may also be converted into a slender bar pin with a propeller-like profile—an unmistakable not to wartime aviation jewelry. At the hinge, a subtle color-shifting sapphire introduces an unexpected detail that rewards close attention.
Crafted in solid 14K gold and stamped "A14K" with "Pat Pend," the piece remains in excellent estae condition, preserving both its structure and its story.
A rare opportunity to acquire a piece that is not only decorative, but deeply emblematic of its time.
