Belle Époque Platinum Diamond Horseshoe Brooch

£6,950.00

A finely crafted Belle Époque diamond brooch designed in the form of an open horseshoe, delicately pavé-set with old-cut diamonds throughout. The symmetrical openwork design features intricate millegrain detailing and foliate motifs, showcasing the graceful aesthetic of early 20th-century craftsmanship. Three larger old-cut diamonds are framed by graduated diamond rows, representing the refined artistry and balance typical of the Belle Époque period.

The Belle Époque era (circa 1890–1915) was a golden age of European jewellery, defined by its light, lacy platinum designs and its emphasis on elegance and femininity. This piece perfectly captures that spirit, blending technical precision with romantic motifs that became synonymous with the period’s high jewellery houses.
