Description from the seller

Floral brooch in 950 platinum, sapphires (16.00 ct) and diamonds (5.60 ct). Europe, 20th century. Imposing European brooch from the 20th century, executed in 950/1000 platinum, with an elegant large-scale floral composition. The piece represents a sinuous branch, formed by nine flowers, whose petals consist of numerous blue navette-cut sapphires, totaling 16.00 ct. The center of each flower is adorned with a brilliant-cut diamond, the nine central diamonds totaling an estimated approximately 2.80 ct. The trunk and the curved branches are lavishly pavé-set with brilliant-cut diamonds, 8/8-cut and baguette-cut, also with an estimated total weight of about 2.80 ct. The total estimated weight of the diamonds present in the piece is thus about 5.60 ct. The reverse features an open, carefully worked structure, with a fixing system of two pins, suitable for the size and weight of the jewel. Stamped with Portuguese “papagaio” and “andorinha” contrasts, corresponding to the period 1985 to 2020, although it is older.
