A Belle Époque platinum diamond brooch crafted circa 1900–1915 in the form of an open horseshoe, pavé-set with old-cut diamonds. The openwork structure features millegrain detailing, foliate motifs and graduated diamond rows, reflecting the refined lightness and symmetry that define Belle Époque jewellery. Three larger old-cut diamonds anchor the design, surrounded by smaller stones arranged in a harmonious horseshoe pattern typical of early 20th-century craftsmanship. An ideal piece for collectors of Belle Époque jewellery, antique diamond brooches or Victorian horseshoe brooch designs.
The Belle Époque era (1890–1915) marked the height of European elegance, where platinum allowed jewellers to create intricate, lace-like structures with exceptional durability. This antique diamond brooch captures the period’s romantic artistry and technical precision.
