Emeralds of this scale are rarely seen outside museum vitrines or the most serious private collections, and this pendant brooch carries two of genuinely exceptional size: a buff-top emerald weighing 43.55 carats paired with a pear-shaped emerald of 24.84 carats, together commanding a combined weight that few brooches in circulation can match. Both stones are set in platinum, framed by pear-shaped, marquise-shaped and round diamonds that provide brilliance and structure without ever competing with the emeralds for attention — a restraint that speaks to a confident original design.
Colour and clarity grading for both emeralds, along with total diamond weight, remain available on request; what the raw carat figures alone communicate is rarity of a different order than most brooches on the market. A single emerald above 40 carats of gem quality is an uncommon find, and to see two stones of this stature combined in one platinum mounting places the piece firmly in the realm of museum-calibre jewellery. The buff-top cut on the larger stone — a cabochon-style dome rather than a faceted cut — is itself a traditional choice for emeralds of exceptional size, favoured because it protects included material while showcasing colour and depth to maximum effect.
The pendant element is fully detachable, meaning the piece functions as either a substantial brooch for a lapel or shoulder, or as a pendant on a chain for evenings when a more streamlined silhouette is preferred. Given the weight and scale involved, the platinum mount and pin mechanism have been engineered specifically to carry substantial gemstone weight securely, a structural consideration that matters far more with stones of this size than with lighter estate brooches.
A piece at this level typically enters a collection as a centrepiece rather than a wardrobe staple — reserved for the most formal evenings, major family occasions, or as the anchor stone of a broader emerald collection being assembled over years. Buyers acquiring emeralds at this carat weight are generally as motivated by store-of-value considerations as by wearability; fine emerald material of this size, free of significant treatment concerns, tends to be exceptionally difficult to source again once sold.
Independent certification for both emeralds is available on request prior to purchase, and we encourage serious enquirers to request it as a matter of course given the scale of the investment. This brooch has been entered into the Legacy house register as one of our most significant current gemstone holdings, and our senior advisors are available for a confidential, unhurried consultation to discuss provenance, condition, and acquisition terms directly.
When you are ready to see it in person, our advisory team will set a private appointment around your calendar, in complete discretion.
