Exceptional French 18ct, Platinum, Garnet and Diamond Brooch Circa 1860-70 The navette is surely oneOne of the most outstanding brooches Ive ever seen, this incredible French treasure is a fully articulated example of stellar Napoleon III period Craftspersonship. I have always loved the work of this period for its clever construction, and this brooch really fits the bill. Articulated garnet drops swivel and shiver as the wearer moves, creating a compelling presentation as a brooch, in the hair, or on a chain. A once in a lifetime piece! Marks:
