A collectible gilt-bronze brooch showing a sunlit lion was designed by pioneering French woman jeweler Line Vautrin, France, circa 1945. It is a small but mighty piece weighing 27.72 grams and signed “LV.” Vautrin’s brooch makes the perfect gift for a partner or a unique addition to an artist’s jewelry aficionado’s collection. Born into a family of metal founders, even as a small child Line Vautrin (1913-1997) was fascinated by her father’s business. She never received a formal art education, but by the time she was 14, she had mastered the skills of casting, chasing, and gilding bronze. At 15, she hit upon the novel concept of making artistic jewelry in gilt metal. She began to sell pieces almost immediately; Vautrin devoted herself to experimentation with new materials then and, indeed, throughout her career but remained committed to bronze. In a time when few women played such a role, she was a pioneering craftswoman known for highly original jewelry enveloped in wordplay and symbology. The turning point came when she hired a stand at the Paris International Exposition...

Elegant retro brooch modelled in the form of an enchanting flower bouquet of shimmering gold leaves, glowing ruby flower buds, and glittering diamond accents. The central part of the brooch is rendered in 18 karat yellow gold which is also the setting for approximately 5 carats of oval and marquise shape rubies. An estimated 2 carats of sparkling round-brilliant cut diamonds are set in complimenting platinum. The gold and platinum leaves are crafted in eye-catching sculptural detail and there is a wonderful three-dimensional quality to the brooch. The vibrant color-contrast of sparkling white diamonds and fiery red rubies, as well as that of warm yellow gold and cool platinum, gives this brooch a special liveliness and charm. The brooch silhouette is stylishly elongated and it is lavishly sized at 2.8in (7cm) length and 1in (2.5cm) width. It is in very good condition and features a single-pin backing with the safety-catch. The brooch dates to the highly collectible retro 1950s era and is of French design. The brooch is dressy and elegant and radiates with easy-going vintage...
