This exceptional antique brooch features a stunning combination of all-natural, antique gemstones. At its center is a GIA-certified Russian emerald, F2-treated, with a rich and vibrant color. Although the emerald is closed-back, it is estimated to weigh between 4-5 carats. This may be the first Russian emerald I've encountered, and its beauty is truly remarkable.
The brooch also showcases a GIA-certified, natural (non-cultured) saltwater pearl, untreated and radiating a soft, lustrous glow. Surrounding the emerald are approximately 3 carats of old European cut diamonds, near colorless and eye clean.
Measuring 35x25mm, this piece is a true statement, complete with a brooch pin. While it is perfect as a brooch, I can also envision the emerald as a centerpiece on a necklace or ring, offering endless possibilities for this timeless treasure.
