A wreath, a bow, icy white diamonds set in platinum. Just about every exquisitely elegant element characteristic of Edwardian-era jewelry is on stunning display in this utterly alluring and decidedly unique brooch measuring a quite conspicuous 4 3/8 inches long. Beginning at the top, a laurel wreath frosted with single-cut diamonds is crowned by a bright bezel-set European-cut diamond and is centered--in bold contrast-- by a dangling cabochon black opal strikingly colored with vivid hues of iridescent blue and green. Glittering below is a gracefully looping bow with cascading strands of bezel-set European-cut diamonds (the largest weighing 1.45 carats) that join to a swirling diamond-set circle that frames an opal drop. Truly a jewel like no other and a most captivating collectible. Total diamond weight - 7.60 carats, total opal weight - 4.86 carats. Hand fabricated in platinum during the first or second decade of the twentieth century. *The twin opals replace an original pair of very pricey large diamonds.

About Edwardian Jewelry
Edwardians took the dark beauty of Victorian jewelry and dyed it platinum blonde. Light and airy filigree, worked with intricate millegrain and detailed designs in that durable metal, was liberally set with the “white” stones—pearls and diamonds chief among them. The Victorians’ sense of whimsy and beloved yellow gold didn’t disappear completely, though, even as the Edwardian era made way for the further-streamlined Art Deco.
As with anything of value, especially sentimental value, taking good care of your vintage and antique jewelry from Lang will enhance its beauty and extend its lifespan. We encourage you to have your jewelry checked and cleaned by us or by your trusted local jeweler every six months, to ensure that each piece is in good wearable condition with all gemstones in place. It’s not uncommon for stones to loosen over time, and it’s much easier to tighten a loose stone than to replace a lost one! As stated in our Repair Policy, we strongly recommend that you allow us to perform any repairs, since our jewelers are specialists in restoring vintage and antique jewelry.
