1950s Diamond Amethyst Plique-à-Jour Enamel Floral Bouquet Brooch Yellow Gold
About the Item
Mid-Century diamond, amethyst and plique-à-jour enamel floral bouquet brooch in 18kt yellow gold, 1950s. Crafted in the radiant spirit of the 1950s, this Mid-Century brooch stands as a testament to nature-inspired artistry and exquisite craftsmanship. It features a delicate assembly of five amethyst violets, each with petals intricately carved to capture the lush depth of the purple hue. These florals symbolize enduring love and devotion, with their hearts aglow with the sparkle of single-cut diamonds, reminiscent of dewdrops under a morning sun.
The brooch's allure is heightened by the mastery of plique-à-jour enamel, presenting leaves with a glass-like translucency, beautifully outlined in rich 18kt gold—a representation of nature frozen in time. This artful transparency, along with the vibrant green shade of the enamel, injects the brooch with a sense of vitality.
Curved stems in polished yellow gold add a gentle movement to the piece, showcasing a commitment to botanical accuracy and aesthetic elegance. Beyond its beauty, this brooch is a narrative piece from an age of sophistication and charm, making it the perfect gift or a significant addition to any discerning jewelry collection.
Diamonds: 5 single-cut; estimated 0.15ct total.
Stamped with “750” for 18kt gold; unidentified maker’s mark “K”; another unidentified chevron-pattern mark.
Dimensions: 4.1 x 3.1 cm. Gross Weight: 9.88g. With minor chips to amethysts.
