Retro French 18ct Gold Giardinetti Brooch set with Gemstones

№ 85W
Rare Find
Written by Olly Gerrish

This is a stunning heavy gage 18ct gold brooch that was made in France circa 1940. It has been claw set with diamonds, rubies, sapphire and emeralds. It is beautifully made, even the handles on the pot articulate. It has a double brooch fitting that was often used in this period as it is secure and the brooch will not fall forward when worn. The Italian word “Giardinetti” was applied to describe articles of jewellery, rings or brooches mainly, with an intricate, openwork floral motif, consisting of various gems set in designs resembling flowers and often arranged in vases or baskets.
