FRENCH 1925 Art-Deco Foldable Jabot In Platinum With VS Diamonds & Ruby
A French art deco foldable Jabot-brooch.
A magnificent jabot brooch created in Paris, France, during the Art Deco period, circa 1925. This elegant piece is masterfully crafted in solid platinum, displaying strong geometric patterns characteristic of the Art Deco aesthetic. The design reflects precision, balance, and refined architectural form. The brooch is set with an exceptional selection of seventy-three gemstones, comprising white, colorless European-cut diamonds, including a striking bullet-cut diamond, and accented by a vivid red Burmese ruby of fine quality. The careful arrangement of stones creates a harmonious interplay of brilliance and color. The total combined weight of the gemstones is approximately 2.49 carats. The piece is fitted with a concealed, foldable pin stem, a hinged pressure clasp, and an additional safety chain, ensuring both secure and practical wear. An outstanding example of French Art Deco jewelry, this jabot brooch combines exceptional craftsmanship, elegant design, and fine gemstones, making it a highly desirable collector’s piece. Stamped twice with the French export marks indicating country of origin, suggesting the piece was produced for the international market—most likely intended for retail by a prominent jewelry house in New York City.
