A large and finely constructed floral spray brooch in 18-karat yellow gold, featuring five stylized five-petal blossoms each centering a round cultured pearl measuring approximately 8 mm, with high luster and white to cream body color. The petals of each flower are densely pavé-set with round brilliant-cut diamonds throughout, their bright fire playing deliberately against the yellow gold ground in a manner consistent with late 20th century Italian high jewelry practice. Two small baroque cultured pearls hang freely from wire stems at the lower cluster, adding movement and an organic quality to the composition. The stems and foliate elements sweep downward in a long trailing spray, each set in channel with a continuous line of baguette-cut white diamonds in white gold or platinum mounts, terminating in sharp gold points. It is truly a great piece, with a mix of diamond cuts that brings the flower to life. It is coupled with an extra boost from the gold carvings on the petals to intentional choice of bezel setting the baguette cut diamonds, creating a more naturalistic picturesque flower.
