Boivin Retro Gold Diamond "Guirlande de Feuilles" Leaves Brooch

About the Item

You'll notice immediately the dramatic verticality of this brooch and how its intricate construction enables it to move with you and catch the light. The diamonds are gem-quality white stones, bright and lively. We suggest you style it with a modern twist as the centerpiece of a necklace, on an interesting gold link chain or rigid wire for a fresh, sexy look. Designed as a highly flexible cascade of leaves, the tapered garland set with old European-cut and old mine-cut diamonds spaced by collet-set diamonds mounted in polished 18kt yellow gold, with French import marks, signed René Boivin, ca. 1947, in signed case. Accompanied by a Letter of Authenticity dated May 5, 2009 from Françoise Cailles stating that this Retro period design is a work by Boivin known as "Guirlande de Feuilles".
