An exceptional Art Deco bow brooch in platinum, the ribbon knotted at the centre and sweeping outward into two full pavé-set tails, every contour of the bow traced by a fine ribbon of vivid green calibré-cut emeralds. It is the defining Deco trick — a soft, feminine motif rendered with hard geometric precision — and here it is executed at the highest level.
The calibré work is what marks the quality. Each emerald has been individually cut to follow the curve of the bow, channel-set edge to edge with no visible metal between them, so the green reads as a continuous drawn line against a dense field of white old European cut diamonds. That is slow, expensive handwork of a kind almost never commissioned now.
Large enough to carry a lapel or a coat at 6cm across, and the sort of signature Deco jewel that anchors a collection.
