Description
This exceptionally fine antique Emerald and Diamond Brooch exemplifies the elegant geometry and refined craftsmanship of the early Art Deco era. Crafted in England, Circa 1920, the classic bar design features a striking arrangement of circular-cut Diamonds interspersed with vibrant sections of channel-set calibre-cut Emeralds. The mounting is masterfully executed in Gold and Millegrain edged Platinum, beautifully complemented by intricate hand engraved foliate sides that reflect the superlative attention to detail of the period.
The piece is accompanied by an independent gemmologist's report assessing the 15 Old European Cut Diamonds, while in their mounts, as weighing approximately 1.65 Carats, displaying a bright G - H Colour and VS2 - SI1 Clarity. Radiating a brilliant fire, they offer a spectacular contrast to the 10 Rectangular Step Cut Emeralds. These choice gemstones weigh approximately 1.00 Carat in total and boast a highly coveted, vivid blueish green hue characteristic of their Colombia origin, with a clarity enhancement grade of F1 - F2, leaving them lightly included.
This exquisite piece seamlessly marries historical charm with timeless wearability, making it a sophisticated addition to any discerning vintage collection.
