£1,795
This fine and impressive gemstone brooch has been crafted in 18ct yellow and white gold.
This vintage brooch has been modelled in the form of two stylised birds perched on a closed umbrella.
The body of each bird is ornamented with an oval cabochon cut chrysoprase.
The yellow gold simplified wirework style heads incorporate eyes represented by claw set round faceted rubies, with a combined carat weight of 0.07cts.
The heads are further embellished with scalloped white gold wirework designs accented with six claw set eight-cut diamonds.
Each bird is embellished with tapering wings and tails, accented with concertina detailing.
The tapering baluster style umbrella features white gold accents to the curved handle and tip.
The 1960s brooch secures to the reverse with a hinged pin and sheath style fastening.
The reverse of the setting is hallmarked with the French maker’s mark and 18ct gold mark (eagle’s head).
This French gemstone brooch is supplied with an IDGL diamond and gemstone grading report card.
This vintage French brooch, dating from circa 1960 and featuring chrysoprase, diamonds, and rubies, is best suited to meaningful, high-value occasions rather than casual gifting. It also works beautifully as an anniversary gift or to celebrate major life moments like retirement or career achievements, where a statement piece can mark a lifetime of effort, or as a family heirloom gift intended to be passed down.
This fine vintage French gemstone brooch is fine quality, set with impressive chrysoprase and rubies displaying fine colour and brilliance.
The well colour matched supporting diamonds display a fine white colour and brilliance.
The brooch is a very good gauge of gold and is in excellent condition, with very clear French hallmarks to the reverse of the setting.

Excellent customer care.
Excellent customer care.
I had to place the order over the phone as my internet was misbehaving. The lady who I spoke to could not have been more helpful and was particularly careful to get all the details correct. I was then informed about the collection and dispatch of the item purchased, by email. The item arrived as expected and it had been most well packed so that no harm could come to it. It was a delight to purchase this item from C6323, AC Silver, and I could not fault any aspect of their customer care. I was highly delighted with my silver mustard pot and it was much better than the pictures on the web site.
