French, Convertible 'Double Clip', Diamond Floral Spray Brooch and Ear Clips

About the Item

A very fine and versatile French platinum brooch pin with detachable dress pins and ear-clips. The floral spray pin is stamped with French assay marks for both platinum and 18 karat gold. Designed to be worn in three ways, the pair of dress clips mount onto a frame to allow them to be worn as one large brooch pin, alternatively the central orchids can be detached and worn as clip earrings. Entirely set with modern brilliant cut and baguette cut diamonds, this piece certainly shines bright. The diamonds in the piece are all of G/H colour and VS-SI clarity and have been claw or mille grain set. The closure to the rear is a hinged pin and and has a sliding tube clasp for security. The piece dates to the 1950s and is a beautiful example of the 'cocktail' jewellery that was produced in that period, especially in France. Measures - 6.5cm L x 7cm W (brooch together) or 2.25cm H x 2.5cm W (ear-clips) Marked - small French metal purity marks Total diamond weight - 9.10 carat Total weight - 48.24 grams

    By Andrew Grima
    Located in Brisbane, QLD
    The most incredible pair of gold ear clips by perhaps the most famous modernist jeweller to have lived, Andrew Grima. Formed from 18 karat gold this 'nest' style pair of ear clips are crafted with satin finished gold bars which interconnect, each centring on an octagonal citrine and accented with baguette cut diamonds. The three dimensional clips are typical of the work by Grima in the 1960s and is reminiscent of some of the famed pieces he made for royalty and high society. The rear of the clips are marked for Haller Jewellery Company which is where Grima first began designing his jewels before forming his own company. Fully hallmarked with London hallmarks, the ear clips (and matching brooch) are assayed for 1965. To the rear there are hinged clips which are working well and are secure. Andrew Grima most notably has designed jewels for Princess Margaret, Princess Anne and the Queen, and his jewels in recent years have become extremely desirable. This pair of clips are truly one of a kind and they have all of us at The Antique Guild...
