Spectacular Large Vintage 18K and Gemstone Bouquet Brooch/Pin

Jewelry : Collectible : Estate : Fine

 

Oh my! This one would become part of my permanent collection if only I still wore the appropriate clothing to suit it! It is very large at 2 7/8" x 1 3/4" and of solid 18k yellow gold and either white gold or platinum. The lovely flower buds are encrusted with emeralds, rubies, and diamond centers. The diamond studded bow ties the stems together and are set in either white gold or platinum. Not quite "retro" this pin was most probably made in the 1950s-1960s timeframe. It weighs in at a hefty 29.9 grams. This would make a lovely gift for yourself or your antique jewelry buff sweetheart!
