Polo Pony Diamond Brooch

About the Item

This charming brooch takes the form of a polo jockey on a galloping golden horse. The pin is encrusted with a multitude of round brilliant colored diamonds certified by the Gemological Institute of America. In total, approximately 18.00 carats of natural fancy colored diamonds form the horse. Crafted of green, white and black enamel, the polo player bears the number "1" and "BOEHM" on his back. The entire creation is set in 18K yellow gold. The sophisticated brooch is further distinguished by prestigious provenance, once owned by the revered self-made businesswoman and "Princess of Porcelain," Helen Boehm. Boehm Porcelain produced fine porcelain sculpture masterpieces that attracted the patronage of royalty, politicians and celebrities alike, including Queen Elizabeth II, Pope John Paul II, Sophia Loren and every U.S. president from Eisenhower to Obama. A lover of horses, Helen Boehm sponsored the Boehm Palm Beach Polo Team and the Boehm Polo Team of England. When Prince Charles played for her team in a charity match in 1985, he wore the team's green jerseys with the number "1," just as the jockey in this jeweled brooch — giving the treasure an added layer of prestige. 3" high x 3 3/8" wide

Fabergé Diamond Brooch
By Fabergé
Located in New Orleans, LA
This sophisticated brooch, composed of swirling motifs and glittering white diamonds, hails from the famed Russian House of Fabergé.
