Platinum, Peridot, Diamond and Enamel Brooch

Centered by a cushion-cut peridot weighing approximately 20.00 carats, within openwork surrounds set with numerous old European-cut diamonds weighing approximately 3.25 carats, accented by black enamel, circa 1925.

In good condition. The peridot is medium yellowish green, more closely resembling the enhancement than the actual size photograph in the catalogue, with eye-clean clarity, there is a conchoidal chip at one of the prongs and there are some abrasions at the facet junctions. The 72 old European-cut diamonds are approximately H-J color, VS clarity overall with a few SI examples. The enamel has some chipping evident under magnification as well as some spots of missing enamel, this is not apparent when worn. There is some evidence of solder at the base of the pin stem.
