Dragonfly brooch
About the Item
This is a truly spectacular statement brooch. Made of 18kt gold, silver and set with rubies, blue sapphires, emeralds, demantoid garnets and sparkling single cut diamonds.
The form is that of a large dragonfly with beautifully enameled in the plaque-a-jour technique. This form of enameling is translucent allowing light to shine through much like a stained-glass window. The enamel on this jewel has been skillfully from the tip of the wing to the body from a rosy melon color fading into yellow from there to a soft mossy green. This delicate use of color emphasizes the colors of the stones.
The diamonds of H/SI color and clarity and are exceptionally bright and sparkle brilliantly with every movement of the wearer. The diamonds are set in blackened silver on top of 18kt. gold. This is a very old practice which complements and adds to the brilliance of the diamonds.
The tail of the dragonfly is flexible which gives the brooch a fluid feeling when worn. It consists of the same silver topped gold set with round diamonds and channel set demantoid green garnets.
If you would like further information regarding the carat weight of the stones, please do not hesitate to inquire.

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...
