A RUBY, DIAMOND AND GOLD "TOURANDOT" CLIP BROOCH, BY NARDI
The carved white chalcedony princess in a pierced gold headdress set with circular-cut ruby trefoils suspending nine diamond-set and two carved dragon tassels, wearing a gold, ruby and diamond tunic, with ropetwist detail, mounted in 18K gold, 5.6 cm. high
The most ambitious work of Giacomo Puccini, Turandot has become the last Italian opera to enter the international repertory.
Puccini's magical and exotic opera is a love story set in ancient China: the beautiful princess Turandot has decreed that anyone seeking her hand in marriage must answer three riddles. Many princes had tried and failed, only Calaf, a foreign prince in disguise, struck by her beauty, will win her to the rejoice of the nation.
It is interesting to note that among Puccini's masterpieces, Madame Butterfly, Tosca, Boheme and Turandot, only the latter has a happy ending which inspired the renown Venetian jeweller Nardi to create this unique brooch.
