Here we have a stunning handmade one of a kind natural unheated ruby and sparkly white diamond brooch dating to the mid century era.
The ruby here is such a beautiful and intense color! This gem quality ruby is completely untreated - no heat has been applied to improve the color it is just as mother nature made it.
This stunning red ruby measures approximately 6.0mm x 4.7mm x 2.6mm and weighs 0.65 carats as estimated in the setting.
There are an additional two round brilliant cut ruby accents set on this pretty pin. These measure 1.8mm in diameter and each weigh 3 points.
The total ruby weight here is 0.71 carats.
In total there are 21 1.25mm round brilliant cut diamonds VS/SI/I in clarity mainly VS and G/H in color
The total diamond weight is 21 points.
Here we have a total carat weight of natural gem rubies and diamonds of 0.92 carats.
On the reverse there is a 14K metal fineness stamp. Professional testing confirms the same.
This unique mid century ruby brooch is completely handmade.
It measures approximately 1 1/8" wide by 13/16" long (29mm x 21mm) and weighs 3.5 grams.
The design is so iconic of mid century modernist jewelry. I love the boomerang motifs and the eye catching asymmetrical arrangement of shapes here.
It would make a stunning necklace by simply attaching a delicate gold chain to either end of the brooch. Of course this pin could be suspended from a fine chain without any alteration by using the clasp of the brooch as a bale.
In lovely condition this beautiful unheated natural ruby brooch is ready to wear or to gift.
A full appraisal shall accompany this unique jewel.
It shall be sent in a presentation box ready for safe keeping.
The photos form part of the description. 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.
