"Antique Fleur-de-lis Brooch In 18k Yellow Gold Set With Old European Cut Diamond"
This sumptuous brooch, dating from the end of the 19th century, is made of 18K (750‰) yellow gold and features an old European cut diamond of approximately 1.20 ct, delicately surrounded by four old-mine cut diamonds totaling approximately 0.70 ct. The fleur-de-lys motif, with its coiled and curved shapes, is inspired by Victorian romanticism while already announcing the purity of Art Nouveau lines. The warm patina of the gold enhances the discreet fire of each stone, while the generous volume - without being overwhelming - gives this pin a noble look for a dressy evening or an elegant look placed on a contemporary jacket lapel. Weighing almost 20 g under the arm, this brooch combines presence and delicacy, the promise of a precious future heirloom.
