Comprising: a brooch of floral inspiration, depicting a decorative buttonhole loop on the collar of a qipao, embellished with brilliant-cut diamonds and delicate 18 karat yellow gold trimming, enhanced by a rose-cut diamond to the centre; and accompanied by a pair of earrings and ring en suite; mounted in 18 karat blackened gold, signed.

Condition
Colour and Clarity: In our opinion, the diamonds are probably of I to J colours, SI clarity. All signed to the back.
Condition: The interesting design is inspired by the button knobs on traditional Chinese 'qipao'. The yellow and blackened gold mount also closely resembles the double-bordering techniques on qipao with the classic chrysanthemum pattern. Overall in very good condition.
