Description
An exceptional celebration of 1960s artistry and elegance, this vintage brooch showcases the iconic gerbe (sheaf) motif characteristic of the sophisticated jewelry design of the era. Brought to life through a dynamic composition of sapphires, emeralds, and diamonds, this circa 1960 masterpiece reflects the bold yet refined aesthetic that defined luxury jewelry of the decade.
Pear and navette-cut sapphires and emeralds burst outward in a sweeping spray, perfectly accented by round, navette, and baguette-cut diamonds, each gemstone meticulously set in platinum and 18k white gold. The architectural platinum framework centers a brilliant floral motif, embodying the period’s innovative approach to structural jewelry design.
Weighing 31.1 grams and measuring approximately 7 by 8 cm, this brooch embodies the dramatic yet graceful silhouettes favored in 1960s haute joaillerie. The harmonious blend of mixed gemstone cuts and precious metals reflects the masterful craftsmanship and design sophistication that made this decade legendary in jewelry history. A distinguished example of mid-century bouquet-inspired design, this piece represents an extraordinary addition to any collection of fine period jewelry.
