Modelled as two lovebirds perching on a branch, the body each set with an oval cabochon turquoise, embellished by brilliant-cut diamonds together weighing approximately 2.95 carats, accented by onyx-set eyes, mounted in 18 karat yellow gold and platinum, signed. 

Colour and Clarity: In our opinion, the two turquoises are of medium light sky blue colour, both have matrix streaks on their back but not seen in the obverse. Diamonds are F to G colours, mostly VS clarity. Signed to the back. Condition: Vintage brooch, with signs of wear to the metal, otherwise in good condition.
