Description
8.6*6.1cm Wt:36.5g
Retro-Period (Circa 1940-1950) antique floral-bouquet brooch crafted in two-tone-gold. Modelled as a naturalistic flower bouquet, yellow-gold forms three-dimensional foliage with sculpted textured surfaces, while white-metal accents decorate bow and petal margins. The flower centres are pav??-set with rich-hued rubies. The stems are channel-set with vivid emeralds. Old-cut diamonds embellish the bow element with lively fire. Sculptural goldwork and floral-bouquet motifs were highly favoured during the Retro era. Gracefully balanced composition integrating coloured gemstones with three-dimensional goldsmithing; a fine representative jewel of the period.
