Precious diamond brooch of the Art Déco in platinum, France around 1930

In the Art Deco era, a new basic shape for jewellery began its triumphant advance: The shield, designed as an elongated oval or polygon. It met the 1920s preference for graphic forms, because the large surface could be filled with powerful geometric patterns. The brooch here demonstrates this fashion impressively. The slightly wavy outline is filled inside with jagged, powerful lines, all of which are set with sparkling Old European Cut diamonds. An additional large diamond of 0.75 ct is set in the center of the design, held in place by a polished hexagonal frame. The brilliant cut diamond is particularly pure and shines in fine white: a true highlight of this magnificent piece of jewellery. A total of 6.41 ct of diamonds have been worked into the brooch. An independent appraisal has confirmed the quality of the gemstones and comes with the piece of jewellery. The brooch sets the diamonds in white platinum, which with its cool and elegant luster was the fashion material of the Art Deco period. The hallmarks of the jewel show that it was created in France. Its powerful forms allow us to date it to the years around 1930.
