Sapphire and Seed Pearl Brooch

A sapphire and seed pearl brooch in 15ct yellow gold, centred with a square-cut sapphire of approximately 0.30ct and accented by four seed pearls. The design is long and linear, with a fine openwork centre that gives the piece a light, balanced profile. The sapphire brings a strong blue note to the middle of the brooch, while the seed pearls soften the geometry with small points of lustre. The gold setting is precise and restrained, using angular lines and a symmetrical layout to give the piece its Deco character. It is a delicate brooch with clear structure and proportion. The combination of sapphire, seed pearls and yellow gold gives it contrast without excess, making it an easy piece to wear and a distinctive example of lighter period design.
