AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Vintage brooch from the 1950s, handmade by period-era goldsmiths in 18 kt gold (750/1000), with the 750 hallmark visible in the back photographs.
The jewelry features a symmetrical bar-like composition, with a central Belle Époque-inspired decoration. Leaf-like motifs border a perforated circular element, while two thin glossy ends complete the design.
In the center is set a laboratory-produced synthetic ruby, oval-cut, weighing 1.50 ct. The stone is surrounded by nine rose-cut diamonds, for a total weight of 0.81 ct.
Two additional rose-cut diamonds, 0.10 ct each, are placed laterally, in closed-back settings. The brooch mounts a total of 11 diamonds, for a total carat weight of 1.01 ct.
Indicative dimensions are approximately 7 cm in length and up to 1.5 cm in height in the central part. On the back there is a pin closure with a corresponding catch.
The recent work on the piece was limited to cleaning and polishing. There are light signs of use on the metal surfaces, visible in the photographs.
Shipping via courier with a tracking number.
