Late Deco 4.65ct Diamond and Ruby French Flower Brooch, c.1940s

This exquisite Late Deco French brooch is a dazzling floral display. It showcases a stunning collection of diamonds, including old cuts, eight cuts, and baguette cuts, with a total weight of 4.65 carat. The diamonds, graded G to H in colour and VS2 in clarity, are meticulously grain and claw set, forming intricate petals and leaves. Adding a touch of vibrancy, three cabochon cut rubies form the centre of each flower. They are Burmese in origin, each weighing 0.50 carat, with one smaller ruby of 0.20 carats. The rich red rubies contrast beautifully with the sparkling diamonds, creating a striking design. Crafted in platinum and backed in 18 carat white gold, this brooch is a perfect example of late Deco elegance and craftsmanship.
