Description from the seller
An impressive masterpiece, museum-worthy, of mid-20th-century European high jewelry: a monumental ribbon-shaped brooch, sculptural and handmade in solid platinum, accompanied by an official gemological certificate from the Spanish Gemological Institute (IGE Report No. D-70557) confirming 3.81 carats of natural earth-mined diamonds with exceptional clarity grades reaching the impeccable internal purity (IF).
Produced between 1950 and 1960, this brooch features an extraordinary three-dimensional undulating ribbon silhouette. The centerpiece presents a prominent round brilliant-cut diamond (0.39 ct) set in an open-backed chaton, surrounded by a radiant fan of precision rectangular baguette diamonds (clarity IF - VVS).
Below, a double stepped cascade of ten round brilliant-cut diamonds with exceptional brilliance and gradually increasing size falls, framed by a continuous pavé of 55 simple-cut diamonds.
The reverse displays supreme haute joaillerie craftsmanship: an intricate lower gallery pierced in the form of a nid d'abeille (honeycomb) that allows maximum light reflection through each stone, hand-engraved with the workshop's authentic historical inventory/serial number "107808".
- Provenance: Private haute joaillerie collection, Madrid, Spain.
- Indication of export licenses required: No export license is required for shipments to European Union member countries. Being a vintage mid-20th-century jewel (circa 1950-1960) under 100 years old, it is exempt from heritage restrictions. For shipments outside the European Union, the procedures and any customs duties in the destination country shall be borne by the buyer.
- Shipping method: Express shipping and 100% insured via international courier UPS with tracking code and delivery by adult signature only. The jewel is shipped in a high-jewelry case, sealed in its official security blister of the Spanish Gemological Institute (IGE SEAL D-70557) and accompanied by the official two-page physical gemological report.
