Vintage 18K, Diamond & Ruby Owl Brooch religious jewelry "Sacred to Filial Affection" withOwls have long been associated with intuition, wisdom, and mystery. The nocturnal creatures hold a special place in the heart of the Jewel Koven, and we consider the owl our totem animal! This charming brooch is in 18K yellow gold, with wide, watching diamond eyes. A bright pink ruby serves as her beak, and her little talons cling to a golden branch. The eye sockets and the tail feathers are open work, giving a modern feel to the darling creature.
