Pair of Gold and Diamond Flower Brooch Pendants by Chaumet, Paris
Chaumet Paris elegant pair of brooches of a flower motif in a mirrored high polish 18k white gold with a finely hand textured 18k yellow gold overlay with 24 diamonds each set in platinum. A spectacular display of fine craftsmanship and design. Chaumet was a leader in the 1970s in high design jewelry using sophisticated hand gold work techniques to texture jewelry and add a slightly organic feel to the stylish jewels of the period. This rare pair of brooches is a perfect example of Chaumet at its best. They were made with hidden pendant bales as well so they can be worn on gold wires alone or side by side. Their scale communicates fashionable luxury in a way that few jewels are capable of. Signed Chaumet Paris, circa 1970s.
