AN EXQUISITE DIAMOND AND GOLD SWAN BROOCH, VAN CLEEF & ARPELS
Designed as a rose-cut diamond and textured gold swan, its articulated neck composed of a series of graduated faceted diamond rondelles, with a briolette diamond suspended from its mouth and emerald eyes
Signed V. C & A for Van Cleef & Arpels, Nos. 37350, NY 55088
Precious gemstone jewelry need not always be serious. Whimsy describes this swan brooch which Van Cleef & Arpels has designed with careful attention given to every detail. The gold on the swan's body worked to resemble feathers and, then, set with rose-cut diamonds la antique. Diamond rondelles create the long, graceful, curving neck, closely mimicking the actual bird's, as it seems to glide atop its elegant body. The head is positioned at a right angle to the neck so that the briolette diamond hangs perfectly straight from its beak. Van Cleef & Arpels' consummate artisans have created a beautiful swan brooch that exquisitely synthesizes nineteenth and twentieth century styles.
