Fringe brooches occupy a special place in the history of formal jewelry — pieces engineered with movement in mind, their pendant elements swaying gently with the wearer's step to catch light from every angle. This example is a striking one: the brooch suspends a fringe terminating in five trapezoid-shaped sapphires, surmounted by an element set with two emerald-cut sapphires weighing approximately 10.20 and 9.50 carats, the entire composition highlighted throughout by round and baguette diamonds.
Two emerald-cut sapphires of that combined weight — close to twenty carats between them — represent a serious commitment of fine coloured stone, the kind of scale that immediately signals rarity to anyone who understands the market. Emerald-cut sapphires, with their broad open facets, are unforgiving of inclusions and colour zoning in a way that smaller or more elaborately faceted cuts can disguise, which means a pair matched at this size and cut typically required considerable searching to source and pair convincingly. The five trapezoid sapphires suspended below extend that same rigor into the fringe itself, their geometric shape chosen specifically to complement the emerald-cut anchors above.
Metal and the sapphires' specific colour and clarity grades are not confirmed in our archive record, so we present them as on request, alongside full carat documentation for the round and baguette diamonds threaded throughout the piece. As a brooch, the design is unmistakably a showpiece — intended for a lapel or gown shoulder where its fringe can move freely, catching candlelight or chandelier glow as the wearer turns. The pin's fitting is built to support that fringe structure securely; ask your advisor about the specific clasp and any recommendations for safe evening wear.
A piece of this scale and design ambition rarely returns to the market once acquired by a serious collector — fringe brooches with matched emerald-cut sapphires at this carat weight are simply uncommon, and their rarity tends to compound their desirability over time rather than diminish it. This is the kind of jewel acquired as much for its presence in a collection as for the occasions it will be worn.
Independent certification is available on request, and we recommend reviewing it closely given the scale of the sapphires involved. This brooch bears the Legacy mark, our assurance of authenticity behind every fine stone we offer.
If this fringe brooch speaks to the kind of statement piece you are looking to add to your collection, we invite you to reach out for a private viewing and full documentation, entirely on your schedule.
