This pair was originally conceived as a single floral spray en tremblant, its diamonds trembling gently with the wearer's movement, and rendered across cushion-shaped, circular-cut, and rose-cut diamonds — a genuinely antique mixed-cut composition spanning several distinct faceting traditions within one design. The en tremblant spring mechanism gives the spray's petals subtle, continuous movement, an effect that distinguishes it clearly from static floral brooches.
Diamond count and total carat weight are on request, consistent with our approach to detailed antique pieces where full documentation is confirmed directly with an interested client. Notably, the second brooch in this pair is similarly set with one diamond deficient, a condition detail we disclose transparently as part of our standard practice — a minor, honestly stated imperfection that in no way diminishes the pair's overall antique character or mechanical integrity. Independent certification is available on request for formal verification of the diamond content present. Our specialists disclose the deficient stone's exact location within the composition during any private viewing, ensuring full transparency ahead of a considered purchase decision.
Combining cushion, circular, and rose cuts within a single spray composition produces a distinctly antique light quality, rose cuts in particular contributing the soft, low-domed glimmer characteristic of pre-modern diamond faceting. Worn as a pair, mirrored across a lapel or collar, the sprays' trembling petals introduce a liveliness rarely found in later, more rigidly set jewelry. Its antique trembling mechanism also gives it a liveliness on the body that static reproductions, however well made, simply cannot replicate.
Genuine antique en tremblant pairs surviving with original mechanisms intact are increasingly rare, and we believe in disclosing condition honestly — including the deficient stone on the second brooch — so a collector can make a fully informed decision. As an heirloom, the pair's mixed-cut antique character offers a tangible record of pre-modern diamond cutting practice, valuable to any serious collector of period jewelry. This pair is entered into the Legacy register with full condition transparency. Clients drawn to genuine antique mechanisms find particular value in the pair's still-functioning trembling action, a detail that distinguishes it clearly from static reproductions.
We welcome a private conversation about this pair's condition, including the noted deficient stone, and full mechanism assessment — please reach out to arrange a viewing. We are glad to share close photography of the trembling mechanism in motion, best appreciated through video ahead of any in-person viewing in full.
