This Art Deco diamond brooch with old mine and rose-cut diamonds is handcrafted in fine platinum, weighs 11.9g and measures 58mm long, 18mm wide and 5.5mm deep. This authentic 1920's brooch of exquisite aesthetic and artisanship exemplifies the epitome of Art Deco jewelry by virtue of its geometrically inspired design and contrasting juxtapositioning of precious stones. Designed as an ornately stylized rectangular plaque, this unique brooch exposes an eye-catching 0.63ct old mine-cut diamond graded J color and SI3 clarity, collet-mounted amidst a spectacular glowing assemblage of geometrically inspired and romantically scrolled open profiles. A duo of sparkling collets mounted with a pair of 0.40ct of old mine-cut diamonds graded K color and SI3 clarity adorn the finials of the alluring bejeweled plaque, set in perfect alignment with the center-stone. The latter is flanked by six sparkling old mine-cut diamonds, cumulatively weighing 0.48cts, graded I-J color and SI clarity range, mounted within artistically mille grained quadrangular frames bordered by parallel rows of channel-set French baguette synthetic sapphires of significant 1.18cts collective weight, graded a most elegant 'vivid royal-blue’ and 'good' clarity. Asymmetrically combined, diamond enveloped openwork scrolls, mounted 'en diagonal' to create an absorbing pattern complemented by triumvirate profiles with immaculate mille grain accents are collectively swathed in 108 rose-cut diamonds graded G-K color range. This genuine Art Deco brooch of outstanding beauty is resplendent in 1.91cts of old mine-cut and a significant number of 108 rose-cut diamonds interspersed throughout the intriguing rectangular plaque and features an original retractable pin-and-hook clasp.

In 1925, an International Exhibition of Arts in Paris promoted the creation of innovative jewels in the style which came to be known as Art Deco, an abbreviation of the French title of that exhibition. The decorative motif demonstrated in Art Deco jewelry were characterized by extraordinary eclecticism, encompassing pure geometric shapes, artistic stylization of nature and reinterpretations of exotic oriental forms. The new and exciting possibilities in jewelry design offered by the Art Deco movement were embraced with enthusiasm worldwide and unusual combinations of previously unused gemstones created striking effects. Precious and semi-precious stones were juxtaposed, such as green jade, black onyx and colorless diamonds to achieve bold color contrasts and to emphasize the different ways in which gems reflect light.
