This remarkable diamond and pearl bow brooch was inspired by the 17th-century Sévigné bows, but made 300 years later, around 1910. The style then was called Edwardian after the period during the reign of King Edward VII in England, or the garland style because it features light and delicate designs with garlands, bows, knots, tassels and lace motifs. Since the relatively new strong metal platinum was then favoured over silver and gold, it was possible to reduce the quantity of metal used for the mount of the jewel, resulting in light and lace-like designs whereby the stones took centre stage. The centre of this Renaissance style bow with double loops features a mille griffe set large old-cut diamond (app. 2.50 carats, I-VS). The loops of the bow have two layers of mille griffe set old-cut diamonds: one layer has all stones set in a row and one layer has single set old-cut stones, also with mille griffe setting. Under the larger centre stone are three diamonds and a large natural white-grey baroque pearl (9.08 carats). The pin and backing are gold (total of appr. 6 carats of diamonds). Netherlands, circa 1910. Weight: 19.95 grams Dimensions: 6.5 x 4.0 cm Dimensions pearl: 16 x 10 mm #inezstodel #forsale pld dm for details
