Brooch - 18 kt. Yellow gold, White gold

Splendid and refined antique tie pin (stick pin) of high-class French manufacture, dating to the period around the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century (Belle Époque / Late Victorian era). The decorative element at the top features an extremely detailed circular geometric filigree design. In the center is set a blue stone, probably a sapphire, surrounded by crafted inserts with set small diamonds. The stem is slender, elongated and polished, perfect for embellishing ties, lapels of jackets, or hats. The standout feature that drastically increases the lot's collectible value is the presence of its original period case. The case has inside the white silk lining the brand stamped in gold letters: • "LA RENAISSANCE JOAILLERIE - 149 Bd. de la Martin, PARIS" The inner base of the housing is covered with sumptuous midnight blue velvet that makes the shine of the gold and the superior details stand out.
