Gold, diamond and turquoise brooch
Located in New Orleans, LA
Lovely and substantial 18kt gold brooch. The brooch itself is modeled in a five “petal” form with a center stone of very fine turquoise. The petal form segments are divided by diamonds. Each division consisting of three graduated white brilliant fiery stones.
Each petal is exquisitely hand chased in an overlapping zig zag pattern. Very fine craftsmanship. There is no stamp, but I have seen an almost exact Tiffany piece. It could be from the same vendor probably in Italy as many of Tiffany’s smaller items were crafted in foreign workshops and retailed by Tiffany.
This is suitable for women as well as for lapel pin for men...
