Vintage 3.02ct Zimbabwe Emerald and 6.88ct Diamond 14k White Gold Brooch Circa 1965
A stunning, fine and impressive 3.02 carat Zimbabwe emerald and 6.88 carat diamond, 14 karat white gold brooch; part of our diverse vintage emerald jewelry and estate jewelry collections.
This stunning, fine and impressive vintage brooch has been crafted in 14k white gold.
The brooch has a curvilinear organic design, bearing a central arrangement of fifteen claw set tapering baguette cut diamonds.
This vintage brooch is further embellished with tiered individually claw set diamonds, in a combination of pear and modern brilliant round cuts.
The subtly convex surface of the brooch is embellished with eight individually claw set marquise cut Zimbabwe emeralds, totalling 3.02cts, completing the design.
The brooch secures to the reverse with a hinged double pin and sheath style fastening.
The hinge of the pin is hallmarked with the 14k gold mark (585) and the brooch has been independently tested using state of the art technology (Niton XL2 Analyzer) and verified as 14 karat gold.
This stunning white gold diamond emerald brooch is supplied with an IDGL diamond and gemstone grading report card.
This elegant vintage emerald and diamond brooch in white gold is a refined and meaningful gift to mark milestones, express admiration or celebrate personal achievements. It also makes a distinguished addition to any fine jewelry collection. Versatile in style, this brooch can be worn on a lapel, evening gown or scarf, adding a touch of timeless sophistication to any ensemble.
NOTE: * The Gemmological Certification Services (GCS) lab has verbally (report number 5785-3877) accredited the emeralds originating in Zimbabwe and verifies that the gemstone shows minor to significant amount of oil in fissures.
'Rather than regarding inclusions in colored stones as harmful, in small sizes and numbers that do not in any way detract from their beauty, they should be regarded as adding to desirability, for they provide identifying characteristics.'
