Broche ‘art-nouveau’

Description of the Art Nouveau brooch/pendant:

This graceful brooch, which can also be worn as a pendant, is a beautiful example of the Art Nouveau style. The triangular shape is subtly symmetrical and features an openwork floral motif that perfectly reflects the organic and stylized aesthetic of this period.

Materials and workmanship:

• Platinum and 18-karat gold
• Diamonds: The jewel contains a total of 54 diamonds, which are exceptional for their historical cutting techniques:
  • 31 Old Miner cuts: This cut is characterized by a high crown and small table facets, creating a romantic and soft sparkle.
  •  23 Amsterdam rose cuts: The rose-cut diamonds, often prized for their star-like facets, contribute to the vintage look.

The diamonds are of remarkably good quality considering their age, which increases their value and rarity.

Setting and design:

• Claw Setting: The largest diamonds are set in an eight-claw setting, which emphasizes their clarity and holds them firmly in place.
• Grain setting: The smaller stones are finely inlaid with a grain setting, which emphasizes the floral pattern in extra detail.

This masterpiece is a versatile piece of jewelry that can be attached to clothing as a brooch or worn elegantly around the neck. Its unique design, combined with historic materials and artisan craftsmanship, makes it a rare and valuable piece that embodies the timeless charm of the Art Nouveau style.
