An Edwardian to 1920s Diamanté Sew-on Ornament for Hat or Frock

This lovely diamanté sew-on ornament in the form of a stylised bow dates from the transitional time at the beginning of the 20th Century.  Maybe from the Edwardian period or possibly as late as the roaring twenties!  This sew-on  jewel is made of a brass-type metal with openwork to allow the colour of the dress etc to show through  and there are 37 individual faceted glass crystal stones making it sparkle. The sparkle has a lovely old look to it where the stones have turned a slight champagne colour due to their age.  Each of the 'diamond' stones has been hand set and is held in place by 4 claws.  To the back of the jewel there are two closed loops, ( photo five shows them best) these would have been used to sew the ornament onto a dress or even onto thin or wide ribbon.  It could be used to add vintage sparkle to a hat, belt, handbag or hairdo. This hair ornament would also be perfect for bridal use on its own or to be incorporated into a hair band with flowers or feathers.  The vintage ornament measures7.5cms  by 2cms at its widest and longest points.  It is in good order with a little aged patina to the metalwork and the aforementioned 'champagne' jewels which  just adds to its antique appeal.
