This is an ORIGINAL ANTIQUE BROOCH that was made in the ART DECO period of 1930s from 18K and PLATINUM. It is centrally bezel-set with 1 SYNTHETIC SAPPHIRE that is a FACETED OVAL SHAPE weighing approx. 10 CARATS. This bezel-set stone measures close to 17 x 11 mm and it is 6.33 mm deep. Synthetic colored stones of this size where common for the period and natural sapphires in this size and color have always been prohibitively expensive, if even available at all.
The frame of the brooch is set with 12 OLD MINE CUT DIAMONDS with a LIGHT CHAMPAGNE COLOR and SI to I clarity that weigh approx. 1.40 ctw. The brooch measures 1-1/16” long by 13/16” at the widest point and the total weight is 8.1 grams. I have this same style in a ring that is centrally set with a natural citrine, see pic. FINE QUALITY & CONDITION … BEAUTIFUL COLOR & DETAIL!

*A NOTE ABOUT OUR PHOTOGRAPHY – Taking pictures of diamonds to be displayed on a computer screen can be difficult, often resulting in the diamonds looking dark (especially rose cut diamonds) when in reality they are not. If you are looking at any of our pictures and feel that the diamonds look dark, please refer to the description of the item that states the accurate color and clarity of the stones.
Also, jewelry and/or diamond grading is done under 10X magnification. When you super-size our photos you will see the item in 100X magnification. Please be aware that you may see things that cannot be seen with your eyes or a jeweler’s loupe. Sometimes these magnified images can make the item look distorted or appear to have problems when in reality it is fine. I list only high quality pieces and avoid those with problems or in need of repair unless it is described as such in the listing. If you are seeing something that you are not sure of, please inquire about it.
REFUND POLICY: The buyer has the right to a refund should the item not be suitable. The item must be promptly returned in its original condition without damage, alteration, repair or signs of wear when examined under a 10x jewelers loupe. Buyer is responsible for return shipping fees unless we have mistakenly misrepresented the item.
I realize there is risk on the buyer’s side when bidding on an expensive jewelry item. If you would feel more comfortable speaking to me in person before bidding on an item, I welcome all calls.
