Brilliant turquoise blue and saturated ruby red meet crisp flashes of white diamonds in a combination that is both exuberant and remarkably sophisticated.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThe brooch is the centerpiece - a magnificent sculptural jewel composed of two dramatically elongated leaves. One is densely set with vivid \u003cb\u003eturquoise cabochons\u003c\/b\u003e, creating an almost seamless field of brilliant blue; the other is richly pavé-set with \u003cb\u003eround faceted rubies\u003c\/b\u003e, producing a deep raspberry-red surface that comes alive as it catches the light.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eSlender ribbons of \u003cb\u003ecalibré-cut rubies\u003c\/b\u003e sweep through the composition, while elegant lines of \u003cb\u003ebaguette-cut diamonds set in white metal\u003c\/b\u003e provide a cool, architectural counterpoint to the richness of the colored stones and yellow gold. The interplay of color is irresistible: turquoise blue against ruby red, punctuated by icy white diamonds and framed in warm gold.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThe matching earrings reinterpret the same design on a beautifully wearable scale. Each is formed as a pair of overlapping leaves - one ruby-set and one turquoise-set - crossed by ruby and diamond accents. Their gently curved, dimensional construction allows them to sit beautifully against the ear while retaining the sculptural quality of the brooch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eJust as impressive from the reverse, the jewels reveal finely constructed \u003cb\u003eopen honeycomb galleries\u003c\/b\u003e, allowing light and air beneath the stones while demonstrating the level of workmanship invested in pieces intended to be beautiful from every angle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThere is something wonderfully glamorous about this suite. It has the confidence and saturated color of great mid-century jewelry, yet the abstract botanical design feels remarkably fresh today. The brooch can transform the lapel of a tailored jacket, an evening dress, or even a simple white shirt, while the earrings are spectacular enough to be worn entirely on their own.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eTogether, however, they are unforgettable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThis is not quiet jewelry. It is \u003cb\u003ejoyful, glamorous French jewelry created to be noticed\u003c\/b\u003e - a sophisticated explosion of ruby, turquoise, diamond and gold that could only have emerged from an era when jewelers approached color with complete confidence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eA rare opportunity to acquire a beautifully preserved \u003cb\u003ematching French mid-century suite\u003c\/b\u003e, offering the collector both the drama of an important brooch and the versatility of its coordinating earrings.\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nadine Krakov Collection","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54867833848021,"sku":"70892-JITOO","price":31500.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0701\/4839\/1125\/files\/1_f1c1d64c-83ac-46be-8547-ed5db29f9178.jpg?v=1788914586","url":"https:\/\/nadinekrakovcollection.com\/products\/18k-gold-turquoise-ruby-diamond-vintage-brooch-and-earrings-set-french-jewelry","provider":"Nadine Krakov Collection","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
