DATE: Mid-Century, c.1940

An utterly stunning Tiffany & Co. brooch dating from the mid 20th century. An intricate - almost lace-like - web of gold filigree loops and whirls around a central padparadscha sapphire of the most exquisite peachy pink-orange colour. It's signed at the back, which opens to reveal a locket compartment, the lid also constructed from fine filigree goldwork. It's crafted in 18 karat gold, made circa 1940.
