This little antique French brooch depicts a pin and an anchor, which are tied together by gold wire. The pin and anchor are both set with natural seed pearls.
The anchor has been used as a symbol of hope for centuries. The anchor keeps a ship steady in rough currents and winds, making it a universal sign for staying calm, grounded, and safe through life's challenges.
