A demi-parure built for versatility rarely survives intact into the present day, and this bow-form brooch is a striking example of one that has. The mounting is set throughout with brilliant-cut and marquise-shaped diamonds arranged along the graceful curve of the bow, measuring approximately 18.55 x 38.95mm and 14.85–19.60 x 38.05mm across its two principal elements. Suspended emerald drops complete the design, and the ingenuity of the original workshop lies in their engineering: the drops detach and can be worn on either piece of the demi-parure, giving one investment two distinct silhouettes across evening and daywear.
Metal, carat weight and colour grading for the diamond array are available on request, and the emeralds themselves carry no published grading in our records; clients requesting a full gemmological breakdown are welcome to ask, and independent certification can be arranged prior to any transaction. What is not in question is the calibre of the cutting and setting — the marquise stones are matched for length and taper along the ribbon's curve with a precision that only hand-fitting achieves, an old-world discipline increasingly rare in brooch-making today.
On the body, a bow brooch of this scale reads as intentional rather than decorative — pin it high on a lapel for structure, or let it anchor the shoulder line of an evening coat where the emerald drops can swing free. Because the drop elements separate from the bow, the piece adapts across a full season of dressing: the bow alone on a day suit, the complete demi-parure for a formal evening. The pin mechanism is a secure double-hinge catch built to hold the weight of the piece through a full evening without repositioning, and the fitted case supplied with the brooch protects both settings between wearings — a detail that matters considerably for a piece intended to travel between generations.
This is a design suited to women who collect for both occasion and inheritance. A demi-parure that offers two configurations effectively doubles as two heirlooms in one acquisition, an efficiency serious collectors recognise immediately. Legacy Diamonds and Gemstones enters every high-jewellery brooch acquired through our house into a private register, with provenance notes maintained for the eventual benefit of the next owner.
We encourage prospective clients to request full photography, video, and a private consultation before deciding — a piece with this level of engineering rewards close inspection. Our advisors are available to walk through condition, wearability, and the detachable mechanism in detail, entirely at your convenience and without obligation. Enquiries are handled with complete discretion through our private client desk.
