Art Deco Brooch In Platinum, Featuring An 8.40-carat Natural Pink Topaz And Diamonds

Art Deco brooch in platinum, featuring an 8.40 ct natural pink topaz and diamonds

A superb Art Deco brooch in 950/1000 platinum, featuring a particularly elegant geometric design characteristic of the aesthetic of this period.

It is centered around a large oval-shaped natural pink topaz weighing 8.40 carats, whose delicate pink hue is accentuated by the white brilliance of the platinum and the substantial setting of natural diamonds.

The design, strictly symmetrical and highly structured, combines cushion-cut diamonds, baguette-cut diamonds, and 8/8-cut diamonds. The baguettes provide a rhythmic pattern around the central stone, while the cushion-cut diamonds form the bulk of the decoration. The lower section widens into a geometric fan-shaped design, while the upper section features a tiered motif that crowns the topaz.

The alternation of different diamond cuts, the clean lines, the geometric recesses, and the openwork setting give this brooch a quintessentially Art Deco design that is at once balanced, powerful, and highly refined.

The openwork reverse reveals the structure of the setting as well as the pin mechanism.
