Story
From the era which brought the world Louis Comfort Tiffany and René Lalique comes this exquisite platinum-topped 18k rose gold brooch. Designed as an expression of thistle flowers, the piece features a finely carved amethyst in a thistle bloom.
Visual interest is heightened with the inclusion of nine (9) round faceted demantoid garnets of a total .06 carats set in the base of a petite thistle. Simplicity and delicacy of style and rendering of the brooch reflect the underlying principles of the Art Nouveau movement of the time.
Leaves and stems are set with eighty-four (84) rose cut diamonds ranging in size from .005 to .03 carats each for a total diamond weight of .64 carats (I-J color; SI1-3 clarity). Relish in the mastery of the art of the jeweler in its precise attention to detail and fine azuring of the reverse.
