About the Item
An exquisite floral pendant brooch, crafted in 18k yellow gold, diamond, and enamel, circa 1950s–1960s. This remarkable mid-century creation features a dimensional flower design with a trembleuse mechanism, allowing the diamond-set pistil to gently move with the wearer’s motion. The petals are richly enameled in deep cobalt blue with fine gold veining, while the stem and leaves display bright green enamel with lifelike shading and texture. The leaves have movement ability as well, adding to the charm of the piece. The brooch bears a maker’s mark and is acid tested for 18k gold. Its intricate craftsmanship and use of vivid enamel and diamonds reflect the high artistry of French and Swiss ateliers of the postwar era, where technical mastery met natural inspiration. The dual fitting allows it to be worn as either a brooch or a pendant, offering versatility and refined style. Weighing 33.93 grams, it measures 3 inches in length and 2 inches in width. This jewel beautifully captures the elegance and optimism of 1950s–1960s European design, uniting motion, color, and brilliance in a singular floral masterpiece.
