The diamonds are arranged within intricate geometric openwork, with larger stones punctuating the design and smaller stones filling the ribbon-like sections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe beauty of the piece lies in the way the platinum has been used to suggest fabric: sweeping edges, angular openwork and densely set diamonds create the impression of a ribbon folding and twisting upon itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStylistically, it sits beautifully at the transition between the Belle Époque and early Art Deco periods, retaining the romance and femininity of the bow motif while introducing the more geometric structure that would come to define 1920s jewellery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe brooch bears the French dog’s-head hallmark for platinum, confirming its French manufacture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith approximately 6 carats of diamonds and wonderful presence when worn, it is a fabulous example of early 20th-century French jewellery: elegant, beautifully engineered and wonderfully glamorous.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Parkin and Gerrish","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57612272009589,"sku":"194M","price":31875.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0373\/3428\/6475\/files\/DSC_0538_7fa8c759-f4a1-41fc-825c-2d941679ef04.jpg?v=1790550509","url":"https:\/\/parkinandgerrish.com\/en-nz\/products\/early-20th-century-french-platinum-diamond-bow-brooch","provider":"Parkin and Gerrish","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
