Brooch White Gold, Platinum and Diamonds

Description

The stylised crescent design and dynamic beam characterise this Retro-period brooch (1935–1950). The piece features a natural round brilliant-cut diamond weighing approximately 3.5 carats. Its colour is estimated as G and its clarity as VS2. Secondary diamonds complete the decoration across the entire motif. The setting is crafted from 18K white gold and platinum. The structure combines a curved volute paved with diamonds with a border of gemstones held by claws. A movement of curved metallic stems springs from the centre, bearing additional diamonds at their ends. The reverse reveals the architecture of the setting and the pin fastening system. The piece measures 4 mm in height by 3.3 mm in width and weighs 14.7 g. The Retro period, spanning 1935 to 1950, is characterised by architectural forms, draped metallic effects, and volumes worked in relief. Jewellery created during this era favours generous lines and dynamic compositions.
