A beautifully elegant antique oval brooch, finely crafted in platinum and set with a natural pearl at the centre, framed by glittering diamond detail. The openwork styling and crisp geometry give it a timeless, dressy look that suits both classic collectors and modern styling—perfect on a lapel, scarf, knitwear, or bridal wrap.
This piece comes with particularly appealing provenance: it is from a Portuguese solar (manor house) and is accompanied by a formal Portuguese valuation dated 1983, issued by an official evaluator. In that document the brooch is described as an oval platinum brooch set with diamonds and a natural pearl, with an estimated total diamond weight of approx. 0.35 carats for the brilliant-cut stones, and it notes that one brilliant is missing.
Condition: very good antique condition overall, with one missing small diamond (as recorded in the 1983 appraisal). Any additional light signs of age are consistent with an antique jewel.
Measurements (approx.):
Length: 3.5 cm
Height: 1.6 cm
Weight: 4 g
A graceful heirloom jewel with documentation—ideal for collectors, gifting, or anyone who loves wearing genuine antique jewellery with history.
