Transformable Art Deco Period Diamond Ruby Platinum Pendant, Clip Brooch

About the Item

Fabulous, multi-faceted jewel which may be worn as a pendant on a diamond Riviera necklace, a wide torque style necklace or suspended from a more delicate chain when turned 360 degrees, as a clip brooch, as a large stunning ring when clipped to a wide band, even as a hair ornament. Clip brooches of the Art Deco period were designed to be transformable, facilitating use in a variety of interesting ways. The asymmetrical swirl design suggests movement and complements the flow of high quality multi-cut diamonds and rubies. Circa 1935 A similar pair of diamond and ruby scroll clip brooches made for Cartier New York circa 1935 are illustrated in Cartier 1900-1939 by Judy Rudoe, page 281, illustration 223, Lindemann Collection, sold Christie's New York 12 April 1983, lot 291. Please note the similarity of gemstones in Cartier brooches - the same square cut rubies, baguette and Old European cut diamonds as in this piece. Diamonds G-H, VS, 47 Old European, 6 Baguette, 2 single cut, approximately 2.5 TCW Rubies: lively, square cut, 12, approximately 2.3 TCW, rich raspberry color, some slightly included, minor surface abrasions Tested for platinum 37mm length on the axis, 31mm straight length , 25mm wide Few clip brooches are suitable for use as ring ornaments, but in this piece the clip folds in such a way that the sharp points of the pins fold into the back and do not come in contact with the finger. A fun, innovative way to wear this beautiful jewel.
