This platinum brooch on a gold base features a beautiful old European cut diamond flanked by two smaller rose-cut diamonds. Fine millegrains structure the surface, and subtly sawn shadow gaps allow the light to play poetically.

But just as fashions change, so do the forms of jewellery. At a later stage - probably in the years after the Second World War, when brooches were particularly popular - a previous owner decided to have the bracelet reworked into a brooch.

The brooch came to us from Hamburg.
