A charming and highly decorative French bouquet brooch dating from the 1940s, crafted in 18ct yellow gold and designed as a stylised spray of wheat sheaves tied at the base. The composition is enlivened by sixteen natural gemstones, each approximately 0.10 carat, including rubies, sapphires, emeralds and diamonds, arranged in the celebrated Tutti Frutti style. Their vibrant colours create a joyful contrast against the warm gold, while the finely engraved leaves lend the piece remarkable texture and movement.

Measuring approximately 5 x 2.5 cm and weighing 8.6 grams, this elegant and collectible jewel beautifully reflects the refined craftsmanship and exuberant design of French jewellery from the mid-20th century. In excellent condition.
