An incredible example of antique jewelry with a gorgeous sweep of vibrant blue sapphires framing a tightly set inner row of sparkling old cut diamonds. The contrast between the rich blue sapphires, bright white diamonds and warm yellow gold is exceptional. I especially love the graduated arrangement of the sapphires and the graceful curve of the crescent, a classic antique design with wonderful symmetry and such strong visual appeal. Interestingly, this piece is crafted in an unusual combination of 10 karat yellow gold and platinum, with delicate detailing along the inner setting. The clever spinlock mechanism allows the piece to be worn as a traditional brooch or as a pendant on a necklace extender, adding wonderful versatility to an already fantastic antique jewel.
Our brooch weighs 6.5 grams and measures 31 × 27 mm. The graduated oval cushion cut sapphires total approx. 2.70 carats, complemented by approx. 0.25 carats of old cut diamonds.
