Antique 18ct Gold & Diamond Buttercup Brooch & Earrings Demi-Parure

A charming antique demi-parure, this brooch and accompanying earrings bring together sculpted gold buttercups and the gentle sparkle of diamonds. The brooch forms a bouquet of three long-stemmed flowers, gathered with a white gold ribbon, each buttercup centred with an old-cut diamond. The softly aged patina gives the gold a warmth that is difficult to replicate. Dating from circa 1915, the set can be worn together for a beautifully coordinated look or enjoyed as individual pieces. The earrings echo the brooch’s buttercup design and have clip fittings for non-pierced ears, while the bouquet makes an elegant focal point on a lapel.
