Set with more than 10 ct of old European-cut, old brilliant-cut, and single-cut diamonds, it is preserved with its case, a handwritten technical sheet from 1932, and the black textile band once used to hold it behind a garment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eType of jewelry: brooch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCondition: very good condition\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCountry of origin: unknown\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStyle: Art Deco\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePeriod: circa 1930\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: platinum with 18K white gold safety chain and steel safety pin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHallmark: no trace\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimensions: 6.05 cm x 4.11 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 14.70 g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Art Deco style was one of the major movements of the 1920s and 1930s. In jewelry, it is particularly associated with platinum, diamonds, geometric compositions, architectural balance, and a modern elegance with clean lines.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis brooch clearly illustrates the Art Deco preference for geometry: a strong central circular form is set against rectangular side panels, the whole executed in platinum and diamonds. The design moves away from the fluid naturalism of Art Nouveau and favors symmetry, contrast, and disciplined ornament. The accompanying handwritten technical sheet, apparently dated October 24, 1932, fits well with this Art Deco character.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOne old European-cut diamond of approximately 1.80 ct\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo old brilliant-cut diamonds with an approximate total weight of 1.00 ct\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e30 old brilliant-cut diamonds with an approximate total weight of 4.92 ct\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e130 single-cut diamonds, also called 8\/8 cut, with an approximate total weight of 2.82 ct\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTotal number of diamonds: 163 pieces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTotal diamond weight: approximately 10.54 ct\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe central diamond shows estimated color and clarity grades of I\/J, SI2.

The band could be placed behind the garment, allowing the safety pin to pass through it and helping to keep the brooch securely in place.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe handwritten sheet appears to be dated October 24, 1932, and records several technical details, including the platinum setting, the weight of the brooch with its safety chain, and the individual measurements of several diamonds. Such preserved notes are rarely so elaborate, but they can be wonderfully revealing. They show that this jewel was not only worn, but also measured, documented, and carefully preserved.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWhat makes this brooch particularly charming is that these modest accompanying elements have remained with it: the jewel, the old note, the case, and even the practical little strip of black textile. They give the brooch a more personal history, bringing us unusually close to the way it was once owned, protected, and worn.\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Adin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55129789235529,"sku":"26155-0157","price":17000.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0342\/5311\/1432\/files\/mp_66701_0.jpg?v=1787582881","url":"https:\/\/58facettes.com\/products\/broche-art-deco-1930-en-platine-et-diamants","provider":"58 Facettes","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
