35ct Kunzite Peacock Brooch Pin 18k
Fine figural peacock brooch pin set with a 35ct kunzite and accented with diamonds in 18k.
This is a relatively big brooch, measuring 9cm long and 4.5cm tall.
At the very end the peacock’s two-ruby plume is what extends an ordinary size brooch further.
This simple stroke sets the brooch apart, somewhat distinguishing its design from costume to couture.
The kunzite is light pink, a Portuguese cut in a big gem that flickers as a soft, light-infused stone.
The Burmese Monsu rubies are pinkish red, the fourth is smallest in its eye.
This brooch was probably custom made in the ’80s, with a recognisable style that is an extension of Straits Chinese handmade jewelry work.
With more advanced tools and modern techniques of alternating yellow and white gold, the accent diamonds are set very deliberately and with graduating sizes.
The brooch is worn secured by two bars at two points, hence the brooch will not flip and is also not a heavyweight.
The wearing of a big stone in a big figural brooch remains a curious art honed by a peculiar hive, a live-in theatre beyond wardrobe and caricature.
