Antique jewelry object group: brooch Condition: very good condition Do you wish for a 360° view of this unique jewel? Just send us your request and we’ll give you the direct link to the videoclip showing this treasure’s full splendour as no picture can. Country of origin: Italy Style: Vintage Fifties (of the twentieth century) Style specifics: This type of jewelry is very specific for the fifties of the twentieth century. All sorts of animals were used as source of inspiration for the goldsmiths. Made in gold and decorated with enamel and precious stones, the result of their labour most of the times well-made, clever and cute. Period: ca. 1950 Source of inspiration: Although this jewel is NOT signed Mellerio it has all characteristics of a typical Mellerio jewel. Even more, this model is typically a Mellerio model. Theme: Carriage Material: 18K bi-color (yellow and white) gold Technique: Enamelling is an old and widely-adopted technology. The ancient Egyptians applied enamels to pottery and stone objects. The ancient Greeks, Celts, Russians, and Chinese also used enameling processes on metal objects. Enamel is the colorful result of fusing powdered glass to a substrate by firing, usually between 750 and 850 degrees Celsius. The powder melts and flows and hardens to a smooth, durable vitreous coating on metal, glass or ceramic. Diamond(s): Two brilliant cut diamonds with an estimated weight of ± 0.02ct. One baguette (long rectangular) cut diamond with an estimated weight of ± 0.03ct. - Total diamond count: Three pcs. - Total diamond weight: approx. 0.05 crt. with an average colour and clarity: F/H, vs/si. - All diamond weights, color grades and clarity are approximate since stones are not removed from their mounts to preserve the integrity of the setting. - We have all diamonds screened by the IJGC-lab for whether they are natural or synthetic, and all diamonds in this jewel are 100% guaranteed to be natural! Precious stones: Four sapphires with an estimated weight of ± 0.12ct. We did not check if the sapphires are lab produced or not as this information has no influence on the value of this jewel. Natural sapphires and lab produced sapphires were both used in this era, rather more for their effect than for their intrinsic value. - All color stone weights are approximate since stones are not removed from their mounts to preserve the integrity of the setting. Birthstones: Diamond is the birthstone (or month stone) for April and sapphire for September.
