A copy of the old valuation report from 1955 is available. With casket. This exceptional Art Deco brooch impresses with its luxurious radiance and the masterful combination of geometric elegance and high-carat diamond setting. The centerpiece is an impressive diamond in the classic emerald cut of considerable size, whose clear lines and mirror-like facets accentuate the characteristic, calm chandelier of this cut to particular effect. Unlike the vividly sparkling brilliant cut, the Emerald Cut impresses with its elegant restraint and its deep, almost architectural lighting effect - a symbol of cultivated understatement at the highest level. The strictly symmetrical design and precise workmanship reflect the characteristic design language of 1920s Art Deco.
