Description
- 18 karat white gold, platinum, diamond, enamel, brooches
The larger blossom pavé-set with round diamonds weighing 10.21 carats, the leaves applied with dark green enamel, maker's mark for Oscar Heyman & Brothers, numbered 74591; the smaller blossom pavé-set with round, baguette and old European-cut diamonds weighing approximately 7.40 carats, the leaves applied with dark green enamel.
Condition
Diamonds are approximately G-H color and VS clarity. The enamelling is in very good condition on each of the pieces; the enamelling on the smaller flower is slightly more matted in texture than that of the larger brooch. Please note the enamelled leaves on the smaller brooch are attached to a removable undercarriage, allowing for a strictly diamonds-only look if desired. Both pieces are in good condition.
