Offres Broche en faux rubis et émail style « Art déco » plaqué or

This is an extremely attractive little piece very much influenced by the Art Deco period. The kite-shape is basically a very chunky triangle. The central and highest point is the main stone - a large faux-ruby, created from glass in a style known to costume jewellery collectors as a flawed ruby. These, and similar faux-emeralds, have small amounts of opaque white glass mixed in to accurately replicate the faults and fissures typically found in genuine gemstones. The diamond-shaped ruby-red stone is surrounded on all four sides by a channel of sparkling white crystals and the shoulders of the brooch are a deep contrasting black enamel.

The brooch measures 4.0cm across and 3.5cm long. It is very wearable and in immaculate condition with a straight pin and secure roll-over catch. The reverse of the brooch carries a clear Chr.Dior signature.

Please note that the beautiful vintage Dior earrings in the final image are not included with the brooch. I have photographed them together simply because I love this pairing. The earrings are for sale separately so please do take a look at my other listings.
