Description from the seller
Platinum Art Deco brooch with diamonds – 1920s / 1930s
Elegant and iconic rectangular bar brooch in pure Art Deco style (circa 1925-1935), featuring an architectural geometric design inspired by skyscraper lines and the era’s “machine age” aesthetic.
The brooch presents a rectangular structure with stepped top and bottom edges, entirely set with small brilliant/rose-cut diamonds totaling 1.14 carats. The central motif is composed of horizontally and vertically perforated lines that create a sense of depth and movement, with a large central circular element housing a larger central diamond, surrounded by a crown of smaller diamonds.
The metal is platinum (or high-quality white gold), typical of fine Art Deco jewelry: light, durable, and with a cool color that maximizes the diamonds’ brilliance. The back is pierced to lighten the piece and allow light to pass through the stones.
On the reverse is the classic pin with a safety clasp, perfectly functioning.
Main features:
• Style: Geometric / architectural Art Deco (skyscraper motif)
• Material: Platinum (or white gold) with natural diamonds
• Stones: Diamonds cut brilliant/rose in various sizes, with a larger central diamond
• Era: 1920s / early 1930s
• Condition: Excellent antique condition, with minimal wear consistent with age. The diamonds are well secured and retain excellent brilliance.
This brooch is a beautiful example of American or European Art Deco jewelry from the interwar period: sober, modern, bright, and visually striking despite its modest size. The “skyscraper” design with the central circle makes it particularly recognizable and collectible.
Perfect to wear on a tailored suit, a coat, or as a 20th-century jewelry collection piece."
