Here we have an antique Art Nouveau pin crafted in platinum and 18K yellow gold and set with rose cut diamonds and natural sea pearls circa 1900.
This piece is likely to have hailed from Germany with stylistic motifs consistent with jugendstil which literally translates to youth style being the German equivalent to the Art Nouveau style in France and Europe.
The piece is extraordinarily feminine, appearing like lace. The old cut diamonds sparkling beautifully. Across the front of this ethereal jewel there are natural pearls set as decorations into the flower basket these have beautiful nacre and add that perfect luster contrast to the adamantine luster of the beautiful diamonds. The flower basket motif decorated with milgrain finish inside the elegance of a simple circular border. This bouquet of diamonds and pearls is pure elegance, sophistication and class!
There are 9 natural pearls, and 76 rose cut diamonds set into this exquisite antique brooch.
The total diamond weight of rose cut diamonds H/I/J color and VS/SI clarity is 1 carat.
To the reverse we can see the handmade manufacture of this piece. A trombone clasp of the era finishes the piece. The clasp works beautifully and is entirely handmade as the rest of the pin.
Of lovely proportions this Art Nouveau Jewel measures 1 7/8" tall by 1 13/16" wide (47mm x 46mm). I am just imagining this on a choker of blue velvet or black velvet ribbon as part of that perfect wedding ensemble!
This one of a kind natural pearl and diamond floriate pin is in lovely antique condition being ready to gift or to wear.

The photos form part of the description of this special bouquet pin. Like all colored stones there is a color variation that occurs in different lighting conditions both inside but also outside, even the time of day can make the color of a stone appear a little different. We do our best to show colors as we see them. Color perception is highly individual and some people can perceive more colors than others, also colors can appear somewhat different on different screens and devices due to variations in screen hardware and device display settings.
