110 Carat Floral Diamond Dodge Estate Brooch, Circa 1820

About the Item

Inundating petals of precious karat gold and silver are encrusted with 324 fine, hand-cut diamonds weighing 110 carats. An exceptional jewel and object d'art of, the brooch became a piece of Americana when acquired by Anna Dilman Dodge in about 1920, then the wealthiest woman in the world. One of Anna's favorites, this breathtaking jewel was often worn with the famous multi- strand natural South Sea pearl necklace ensemble she acquired from Cartier for $1M in 1919, from the estate of the last Russian Empress, Catherine the Great. Diamonds each individually shaped to achieve organic, natural flow and are predominantly, near flawless clarity with collection- white color. Following Anna's death, much of the Dodge family jewels were first appraised, then sold or acquired by DiMaggio Jewelers and Gemologists from 1982-1984. The brooch has been held privately, mostly untouched, since. The exemplary crafted jewel features the Georgian era's trendy, state -of-the -art movement technique, which by incorporating coiled appendages to leafy diamond clusters, skilled goldsmiths achieved the Tremblant [en Francais] , 'trembling’ petals effect. Diamond caratage was determined by formula by renowned diamond cutter Dan Fainberg of Jules Fainberg, NY, NY and Anthony DiMaggio, GG., Detroit.
