1940s Baroque Pearl and Gemstone Rooster Brooch in 18 Karat Gold
$ 14,000.00
Here is a wonderful and cheeky rooster who is beautifully hand crafted. The body of the bird is created from a large, natural, Baroque Pearl. His tail is set with a spray of rubies, diamonds and sapphires; and his head is further set with rubies, sapphires and emeralds. The brooch is fully engraved with fanciful and realistic details down to the toes on its perfect little feet.
This piece is marked on the back of the leg, but I was not able to make these marks out. It was most likely made in France in the 1940s, at a time when these brooches were highly desirable and created by many of the important jewelry houses. Buccellati, Cartier, Yard and Tiffany all crafted brooches in this genre, many with a pearl as the central body of the animal. It's quite possible this brooch was created by one of these important houses. It's beautifully crafted, note how the back is left open to reveal the back of this magnificent, 60 carat natural pearl.
The body of this piece tests as 18 karat gold and the diamonds are set in platinum. The pin stem has a trombone style clasp. The brooch measures 55 x 53x 17 mm and weighs 21.56 grams.
This piece has been expertly appraised by an independent appraiser and has a value of $15,000. Please inquire for a full copy of the detailed appraisal.

2.1cttw Old European Cut Diamond Eternity Band Ring Size 8 Platinum Size 8
$ 5,750.00
This luminous ring draws the eye like a moth to a flame. Loved for close to a century, this ring still manages to seldom go unnoticed. It's comfortable enough alone on the finger, but would be more than happy to pair up with another eternity band or three or nestle in next to a friendly diamond solitaire!
Completely hand made of platinum, this ring is set with twenty wonderfully sparkly old European cut diamonds that go around and around your pretty finger. The ring was made in about 1920-30, probably in Europe, I purchased it in France but it has no hallmarks, it is marked 'Platinum' inside the band. These diamonds are very bright and lively and each weighs about .11 carats for a total of about 2.1 carats in diamonds, approximately G/H color and VS1-Si1 clarity. This ring is a size 8 and weighs 5.0 grams. The ring is 3.5 mm from north to south and sits 2.5 mm off the finger.
This fantastic ring is very comfortable on, it would make an excellent wedding or anniversary band.
