Ladies Beautiful Diamond and Platinum Brooch Having 10 Carats of Diamonds That Converts Into Separate Matching Pins. A dazzling piece of antique jewelry from the 1920s-1930s Art Deco period boasting superior craftsmanship and design. Ten (10) carats of both round brilliant cut diamonds and baguettes are set in a platinum swirl of ribbon and foliate design. There are approximately 7.5 carats of round brilliant cut diamonds and 2.5 carats of baguettes. Included in that total are two 0.75 diamonds in VS2-SI1 clarity, J-K color with the smaller diamonds of similar quality. The brooch has a platinum frame that holds what turns out to be two matching pins. A marvel of design, the pin backs when pulled upright free the two elements from the frame creating two pins. It can be hard to decide what style is preferable, a large brooch or two matching pins. Well, no need to decide, one can have both with ease. As a brooch, the piece measures 3 x 1.25" and looks particularly appealing aligned vertically. As two pins, each measures 1.5 x 1.25". Total gross weight is 49.75 grams. A superior piece in showcase condition.
