"Gold And Platinum Brooch, Sapphires And Diamonds, Free Form, 1940-1950 Period"
Large free-form brooch in solid gold and platinum decorated with blue sapphire and diamond. Superb design and modeling by the jeweler in the shape of a half moon, wheat-style sheaf and gold spheres.

The platinum half moons are set with 25 old-cut diamonds, including 17 3 mm in diameter for an approximate weight of 1.87 carats and 8 2 mm in diameter for an approximate weight of 0.24 carats.

According to my neighboring jeweler, this is a very high quality piece made after the war in the 40s-50s by a jeweler who put all his know-how into this creation.
