Trabert & Hoeffer Mauboussin Retro Reflection Sapphire Diamond Brooch Gold 1940s

About the Item

One-of-a-kind Retro Trabert & Hoeffer Mauboussin Reflection 7.60ct Sapphire, Ruby and Diamond Floral Bouquet Brooch in 14K Yellow, Pink and White Gold, 1940s. This vintage brooch is designed as a stylized floral bouquet featuring five natural unheated gemstones representing flowers - one ruby, three blue sapphires, one pink sapphire and one yellow sapphire - further embellished with a diamond-set stem in white gold and with polished yellow and rose gold scrolled bouquet accents. Diamonds approximately 0.30ct in total. Ruby: cushion-cut; 1.16ct. Pink sapphire: elongated cushion-cut; 1.64ct. Yellow Sapphire: elongated cushion-cut; 1.16ct. Sapphires: 3; elongated cushion-cut, oval-cut and cushion-cut; 0.94ct, 1.01ct and 1.40ct respectively. Signed “TRABERT & HOEFFER MAUBOUSSIN”; stamped “REFLECTION”; numbered “4544”; later Portuguese import marks for 585/1000 gold. Dimensions: 7.0 x 5.1 cm. Gross weight: 19.4g. The firm of Trabert & Hoeffer-Mauboussin formed in 1929, and became an important presence on New York’s Park Avenue. Much of its success came from its distinctive line of "Reflection" jewelry. The Reflection line was the first to introduce the bold shapes and colors of modern European jewelry to America. Under the tag line “Reflection – Your Personality in a Jewel” women were encouraged to decide on the arrangement of the parts themselves and create personalized jewelry. The style of “Reflection” jewelry was modified over time, and by the late 1930s and early 1940s it was characterized by the smooth curves and combination of rose gold and pastel-colored gemstones evident in this piece. Equivalent examples of Trabert & Hoeffer-Mauboussin “Reflection” antique and vintage jewels can be found at the Victoria & Albert Museum. This item is in good condition, with marks and scratches consistent with general age and wear. Antique, period and vintage pieces, both signed and unsigned, are being offered as worn. Unless otherwise stated, all weights and quality factors have been graded as mounting permitted and using classic gemology.
