This vintage Retro brooch with old mine-cut diamonds and rubies is crafted in a combination of 18k yellow gold and platinum, weighs exactly 40g and measures 7.0cm long, 4.5cm wide and 10mm deep. Characterizing the impressive style of the postwar Retro era, particularly the movement towards naturalism in jewelry design of the late 1940's, this opulent clip brooch is designed as a duo of anemones, a most favorite motif of the late 1940's produced in vari-colored gold, often mounted with calibré-cut rubies. The larger six-petal flower head exposes a cluster of bead-set single-cut diamonds of 0.40cts cumulative weight, graded J color and SI2 clarity, mounted in rectangular platinum settings. The smaller anemone is centered with an intriguing 0.62ct old mine-cut diamond graded J color and SI1 clarity, secured by quatrefoil platinum prongs. These absorbing flower heads are mounted in the center with faceted and cabochon rubies graded 'burgundy' color and 'fair' clarity. The naturally inclined, curvilinear stem of this enchanting duo of flowers is rendered in platinum and bead-set with 1.15cts of old mine-cut diamonds graded K color and SI2 clarity, complemented by a trio of matching grade ruby cabochons, augmenting the cumulative carat weight of rubies mounted throughout the brooch to 1.37cts of faceted and cabochon corundum. This eye-catching Retro brooch features a hinged platinum 'fur-clip' on reverse and a pair of clinging security hooks enabling a grasp hold of thick fabric.
