1950s Multi Precious Stones Rose Gold Tutti Frutti Bouquet Brooch
Located in Poitiers, FR
Brooch in 14 karat rose gold, shell hallmark and platinum.
A sublime retro brooch inspired by the work of great jewelers and the Indian inspiration found in Tutti Frutti jewelry from the 1930s. It represents a chiselled, openwork basket holding a bouquet of flowers and branches. Set with a multitude of gemstones and diamonds. We find green tourmalines, sapphires, pink and orange garnets, rubies, diamonds of various sizes, citrines and even a natural yellow zircon in the center. The clasp is a safety pin..
Height : 4,5 cm approximately, width : 5 cm approximately, thickness : 6 mm approximately.
Total weight of the jewel : 16,5 g approximately.
Authentic antique jewel - American work from the 1950s.
Our opinion : This antique gemstone brooch bears witness to a time when the fast pace of evening events and outfits called for jewelry to match the occasion.
The history of this jewel : Unfortunately unsigned, this Tutti Frutti brooch was undoubtedly made by a talented American workshop in the 1950s. Its former owner, a former vice-president of a major international bank in 1950s New York, liked to wear this jewel at her social events, and connoisseurs will recognize the Tutti Frutti Cartier...
