magnificent flower bouquet with three blossoms and leaves
This extraordinary, large brooch designed as a flower bouquet is adorned by beautifully crafted blossoms and leaves. The marvellous design gains its brilliance being set with a large number of paste gems which underline the radiance of this enchanting piece of jewellery. This extraordinarily decorative and wearable collector’s piece with safety pin is an enormously attractive adornment. Pieces of jewellery like the present one were ordered by customers to get a first impression of the design. Later they were crafted in gold and set with diamonds.
The latter, however, was usually kept in the safe, while the other piece was worn.
