Antique Belle Époque Platinum and 13k Yellow Gold Diamond and Ruby Flower Brooch

Five antique pear cut diamonds totaling approximately 1.88ctw form the petals of this Belle Époque flower brooch, their tapered points arranged around a round brilliant cut ruby center. Beautiful examples of antique faceting, the diamonds display broad, individually varied facets and visible culets, producing bold flashes of light that give each petal its own character. Scalloped platinum settings follow their rounded contours, with small pointed accents nestled between the petals. A polished, curved 13k yellow gold stem sweeps beneath the blossom, tied with a dimensional platinum-faced ribbon bow set with Old European Cut diamonds totaling 0.10ctw and edged in fine milgrain. The ruby’s vibrant red hue provides a vivid focal point against the diamonds, while the warm gold stem contrasts with the bright platinum settings. Dating to the early twentieth century, the floral motif, ribbon ornament, and delicate milgrain reflect the Belle Époque taste for graceful, naturalistic jewels. Open settings reveal the diamond pavilions at the reverse, which carries a hinged pin and cylindrical safety clasp.
