Blister Pearl, Emerald, 0.70ct Diamond and 14ct Gold Bird Brooch - Antique Circa 1930

1920 - 1940
For Sale by AC Silver
Description

A stunning, fine and impressive antique blister pearl, 0.02 carat emerald, 0.70 carat diamond, 14 carat yellow gold and 14 carat white gold bird brooch; part of our blister pearl jewellery collection.

This stunning, fine and impressive gemstone bird brooch has been crafted in 14ct yellow gold with 14ct white gold settings.

The brooch has been modelled in the form of a bird perching on a branch*.

The body of this stunning antique bird brooch is embellished with a stunning and large blister pearl.

The white gold head of the bird is embellished with thirty-two impressive pavé set eight cut diamonds, incorporating a collet set round faceted cut emerald, representing the bird's eye.

The white gold wing is ornamented with eleven further pavé set eight cut diamonds.

The yellow gold portions of the brooch incorporate textured details, reproducing the bird's feathers and anatomical features, in addition to the branch's details.

The splayed branch design is embellished with four claw set bud designs and three pavé set leaves, incorporating a total of seventeen eight-cut diamonds, completing the design.

The bird brooch secures to the reverse with a hinged pin and sheath fastening.

This stunning gemstone bird brooch has been independently tested using state of the art technology (Niton XL2 Analyzer) and verified as 14 carat gold.

This impressive brooch is supplied with an IDGL diamond and gemstone grading report card.

This stunning brooch is superior quality and one of the finest of its type you could hope to acquire.

This blister pearl bird brooch in gold combines symbolic naturalistic design with organic gemstone character to create a distinctive decorative piece. The bird motif is traditionally associated with happiness, love and aspiration, while the blister pearl introduces unique natural form, ensuring each brooch is individual. Crafted in gold, it balances artistic craftsmanship with enduring elegance, making it particularly suited to birthdays, anniversaries and other significant life celebrations.

NOTE: * With the addition of the long tapering beak and stout body, it has been determined this bird replicates the features of a kingfisher and hummingbird; however, there are other variants which may be applicable.

Images do not always reflect the true colour and brilliance of gemstones and diamonds. The video however provides a truer representation of the actual colour and showcases each stone.

This Art Deco bird brooch dates from circa 1930 and models an avian figure perched on a branch. The piece is fashioned from 14ct yellow gold and 14ct white gold, displaying gold and white tones throughout. A large blister pearl forms the body, while thirty-two pave-set eight-cut diamonds embellish the white gold head alongside a round faceted green emerald eye. Eleven further pave-set diamonds ornament the white gold wing. The yellow gold portions exhibit textured details reproducing feathers, anatomical features, and the splayed branch work. Four claw-set bud designs and three pavé-set leaves featuring seventeen eight-cut diamonds decorate the branch. The reverse includes a hinged pin and sheath fastening. This wearable antique item functions as a decorative garment accessory pinned to clothing such as a lapel, collar, or scarf during formal or social occasions. The naturalistic design combines organic gemstone character with symbolic avian motifs representing happiness, love, and aspiration. The combination of textured gold, lustrous pearl, brilliant diamonds, and green emerald creates a distinctive visual piece suitable for significant life celebrations or daily wear as a statement ornament. The brooch exhibits exceptional condition with superior gauge gold, fine colour and lustre in the pearl, and clear brilliance in the high-colour graded diamonds and green emerald.

During the 1930s, jewellery design blended late Art Deco geometric precision with a resurgence of naturalistic motifs. Bird brooches from this era frequently featured sculpted precious metals, organic gems like pearls for body volume, and pave-set diamonds to capture light and movement.

Jewellers relied heavily on 14ct and 18ct yellow gold, platinum, and white gold settings. High-grade accent gemstones, such as emeralds for eyes and brilliant-cut diamonds for feathers, were combined with natural or blister pearls to add realistic texture.

Authentic period pieces feature hand-carved detailing, millegrain edging, and period-correct catch mechanisms like safety barrel clasps. Metal fineness hallmarks, accurate gem-setting style, and evidence of hand-finishing along the reverse side assist in verification.

A figurative brooch can be worn on the lapel of a tailored blazer, fastened onto a silk scarf, or placed at the collar of a buttoned shirt. They are also frequently pinned to evening bags or velvet coats to add a focal point.

Organic gems like blister pearls require careful handling; avoid harsh chemical cleaners, ultrasonic baths, and direct steam. Clean gently using a dry or slightly dampened soft cloth, and store separately in a fabric-lined box to protect soft surfaces from scratching.
