Vintage bow brooch from the 1910s in sapphires and pearls – Belle Époque Grace
An elegant bow-shaped brooch from the 1910s, where the refinement of the Belle Époque meets the early Art Deco style. Set with luminous seed pearls and royal blue sapphires in a stylized fan motif, it is adorned with a sparkling old-cut diamond. Its subtly curved silhouette gives the illusion of movement, as if freshly tied. Its playful elegance evokes past soirées, an intimate nod to fashion, femininity, and the discreet pleasure of a well-chosen outfit.

The weight, color, and clarity were assessed while the stones were set, in order to preserve the original condition of the jewelry. The values given should therefore be considered expert approximations.
Every diamond in our antique jewelry and vintage collections has been examined and confirmed as 100% natural by the IJGC laboratory.
