This gorgeous Art Deco brooch is circa 1930 and is set with approximately 20 carats of carved rubies in gold and Platinum. The approximately 1.25 carats of diamonds (G-H color, VS-SI clarity) are set in platinum. This brooch is large at over 2" long and 1" wide.

Not only would this piece make for an excellent collectable/display but also serves as a wonder piece of antique Victorian celestial...
