Suites that survive intact — a brooch and its matching ear clips, kept together across decades rather than separated and sold individually — are increasingly rare in the market today, and this plaque-design brooch is offered precisely as such a suite. The brooch centres on an oval sapphire weighing 26.80 carats, bordered by cushion-shaped and rose diamonds arranged across a plaque format that gives the piece real architectural presence, while the accompanying ear clips echo the same design language and stone palette, allowing the full suite to be worn together for maximum coordinated impact.
Colour and clarity grading for the sapphire, along with metal composition and total diamond weight across the suite, are available on request. A 26.80-carat oval sapphire of genuine quality is a significant stone in its own right, and the survival of matching ear clips alongside the original brooch adds considerably to the piece's historical and collector interest — suites of this completeness are frequently broken up over time as pieces are sold separately, making an intact set a genuinely uncommon find. The designation of historically important reflects the documented significance of this particular suite within our records, details of which our advisors are pleased to share in full during a private consultation.
The plaque design itself — a broad, structured format rather than a more delicate open setting — was favoured for jewellery intended to make a serious formal statement, and the border treatment of cushion-shaped and rose diamonds around the central sapphire gives the piece a finished, deliberate architecture rather than a simple stone-and-frame arrangement.
Worn as a complete suite, the brooch and ear clips together create a cohesive, formal look suited to the most significant evening occasions — a black-tie event, a major family celebration, or any setting where a coordinated sapphire suite makes its full intended impact. The brooch alone remains equally capable of anchoring a lapel or the shoulder of a structured gown for occasions calling for a single striking piece rather than the complete set.
Given the historical significance and scale of this suite, independent certification for the sapphire is available on request, and we recommend it as essential documentation for an acquisition of this stature. The pin and ear clip mechanisms have all been checked for secure function prior to listing.
This suite has been entered into the Legacy house register as a significant sapphire holding of genuine historical interest. Our senior advisors welcome a confidential conversation about its documented history and are pleased to arrange a private viewing at your convenience.
