For sale a brightly hued, one-of-a-kind antique brooch featuring a tulip flower made of rose cut diamonds.
The elegant royal blue color from the background complements the white color from the diamonds, capturing the natural strength as well as the lightness of the material. The three biggest diamonds on the brooch have an estimated weight of 0.7ct, 0.5ct and 0.3ct each. They convey a very unique candlelight warm tone which is very special to and can be only found in the antique jewelry. We love how the flower is captured in a very simple yet elegant way. The brooch is mounted in Vermeil / Gold on silver (the panel) and then in 18K yellow gold (the catch and the pin on the back). It dated back to the 19th century, the Victorian era. The brooch is stamped with the French owl hallmark for 18K gold on the pin and the C-catch of the brooch.
Brooches are one of the strongest trends right now. Unlike other type of jewelry, you can pin this beautiful flower brooch to any part of your wardrobe leaving you to choose what part of your body your flower will bloom over today.
The box on the photo is for display only and the brooch will be sent in a new blue velvet box.
