Hand-Faceted Antique Artistry
Sparkling Diamond Accents: The fletching and arrowhead are encrusted with a mixture of Old European Cut and Rose Cut diamonds. These stones offer the romantic, candlelit glow that defined 19th-century luxury.
Textural Gold Detail: The shaft of the arrow is polished to a high shine, while the diamond-set sections feature delicate hand-carved settings that maximize the brilliance of the antique stones.

Integrated Fine Chain: The pendant is securely integrated into a delicate 14k gold chain, ensuring the arrow remains perfectly centered and balanced when worn.
Low-Profile & Elegant: The slim, elongated silhouette makes it an ideal piece for layering with other antique charms or wearing as a refined, singular statement.
