0.80ct Lapis Lazuli, 0.70ct Turquoise and 0.18ct Diamond, 18ct Yellow Gold Brooch - Vintage Italian Circa 1950

This stunning, fine and impressive vintage brooch has been crafted in 18ct yellow gold.

The yellow gold brooch has been modelled in the form of a stylised lion's mask design; this has been determined by the nature of the interlacing wirework decorated setting with subtly alternating curvilinear strands around the mammal-shaped muzzle.

The cheeks/muzzle are further ornamented with a total of six individually claw set modern brilliant round cut diamonds, totalling 0.18ct.

This exceptional brooch incorporates two cabochon cut lapis lazuli, representing the eyes, in addition to a cabochon cut turquoise completing the design.

The antique brooch secures to the reverse with a hinged pin and push fit fastening.

This vintage gemstone brooch is hallmarked to the reverse with an Italian mark (ITALY) an the 18ct fineness mark (18K).

This impressive vintage lapis lazuli brooch is supplied with an independent diamond and gemstone grading report card.

Images do not always reflect the true colour and brilliance of gemstones and diamonds. The video however provides a truer representation of the actual colour and showcases each stone.

This stunning vintage brooch is excellent quality, with impressive lapis lazuli and turquoise displaying fine colour, brilliance and presence.

The impressive diamonds display a fine white colour and brilliance.

This vintage turquoise brooch is an excellent gauge of gold and is in excellent condition, with clear hallmarks to the reverse of the setting.
