Antique Diamond Flower Brooch
Dating from the mid-19th century, and once forming part of a more extensive ornament, this silver and gold flower brooch is set with over 13 carats of diamonds. It is designed as a frond of curling leaves and blossoms, set throughout with rectangular and cushion-shaped old mine-cut diamonds, the blossoms highlighted by collet-set foil-back rose-cut diamonds, within a dark patinated silver-topped, low karat gold mount. A design of unusually modern stylization and three dimensional modeling, this floral confection of rare and beautiful old-cut diamonds set in dark silver is wonderfully glamorous and dramatic.
