Diamond and Platinum Brooch (C.1950)
$6,930.00
In 1947 Christian Dior released the infamous New Look which celebrated ultra-femininity and opulence in women's fashion. After years of somber wartime uniforms and shortages, Dior offered not only a new look, but a new outlook. With a fitted bodice and décolleté neckline atop a full A-line skirt this feminine silhouette called for extravagant jewels to match.
Ribbons of round and marquise cut, near-colorless, scintillating diamonds twist and twirl in this free flowing hand crafted platinum bodice adornment. This exceptional bauble hails from the glamorous 1950's.

"The story of Bijoux Birks began four centuries ago, when the Birks family were master silversmiths in Sheffield, England. Though the brand’s roots lie deep in English craftsmanship, it truly came to life when Henry Birks opened a boutique in the heart of Montreal in 1879. His lifelong dream became a reality and grew into a magnificent fine jewellery legacy that is still thriving today." - Maison Birks Website
