A striking 1950s brooch inspired by the thistle, Scotland’s national flower, beautifully rendered in 18ct yellow gold. Three radiant blooms are set with vivid natural and unheated burmese pink sapphires surrounding brilliant-cut diamonds, their dramatic sunburst petals creating movement and light from every angle. A diamond-set stem in white gold adds an elegant contrast to the richly textured design.
Signed FEU, possibly for Fred Ullmann, this sculptural piece perfectly captures the glamour and craftsmanship of mid-century jewellery. Bold yet refined, it wears beautifully on a lapel, jacket or knitwear.
English Hallmark dating the brooch to 1951.
Dimensions: 4.5 cm x 3.5 cm and approx. weight: 15.9 g
