AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
A refined and authentic French antique brooch from the Belle Époque period (circa 1890–1910). This finely crafted piece is entirely made of solid 18-karat yellow gold, with seamlessly integrated white gold accents that beautifully highlight the gemstones—a classic example of high-quality French metalwork.
The elegant, solid gold, rectangular brooch has impressive dimensions: 7.5 cm long and 1.3 cm wide at the central, diamond-shaped section. The piece is adorned with a striking, lustrous pearl—presumably a natural pearl—measuring about 5 mm in diameter. The pearl is flanked by refined gold floral motifs and a sparkling row of 12 antique rose-cut diamonds. Given the period in which the jewelry was produced, the pearl is very likely an authentic, wild-formed pearl from that era. The pin bears the official French hallmark 'tête de sanglier' (boar’s head), which confirms the authentic French origin and the use of solid 18-karat gold.
