AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Jewellery Type: bar brooch
Condition
very good condition
Country of origin
unknown
Style
Interbellum naturalistic jewellery – Although made around 1930, this charming little bar brooch does not speak the strict geometric language usually associated with Art Deco. Its insect motif, pearl body, rose-cut diamond wings and coloured stone detail belong instead to the naturalistic jewellery tradition especially loved in the late Victorian and Edwardian periods, and still echoed in jewel design during the interwar years.
Period
ca. 1930
Source of inspiration
Nature
Theme
a small naturalistic insect, perhaps a fly or a bee
Material 18K
yellow and white gold
Diamonds
Six rose-cut diamonds and senailles . A senaille is a simplified rose-cut diamond, usually a small diamond chip with only a few polished facets. As is customary in our trade, no weight is stated for these small rose-cut diamonds and senailles.
- All diamonds in our antique and vintage jewellery, regardless of size or shape, are verified by the IJGC laboratory as natural.
Precious stones
One ruby with an approximate total weight of 0.07ct
One baroque pearl
All coloured stone weights stated are approximate unless otherwise noted, as stones are not removed from their settings in orde.
Gemstones are often treated to improve their colour or clarity. The stones in this piece have not been tested for treatment unless otherwise stated.
Birthstones
Diamond is the birthstone (or month stone) for April, ruby for July and pearl for June.
Hallmarks
Illegible remains.
