A refined jewel of the Belle Époque, the brooch is delicately modeled in platinum over 14-karat gold with scrolling foliate motifs and millegrain borders. At its heart lies an old mine-cut diamond weighing 1.39 carats, graded D color, VS1 clarity (GIA #6187493156), framed by pavé-set old European-cut diamonds. Beneath, a rectangular step-cut Colombian emerald of approximately 1.50 carats displays lively saturation; above and below, an oval Burmese ruby of approximately 0.60 carats glows with vivid red, reported no heat or clarity enhancement (AGL #1084852, A & B). The remaining diamonds are estimated to weigh approximately 1.25 carats. Measuring approximately 1½ inches in length, the jewel exemplifies the lightness, symmetry, and platinum artistry prized at the turn of the twentieth century. A compelling synthesis of provenance, certification, and period workmanship—an elegant, wearable miniature of the age.
