Platinum, 18 Karat Three-Color Gold and Diamond 'Pastilles' Brooch, Mauboussin, Circa 1965

Of stylized wing design, comprising a series of tri-color, circular platelets and set with numerous round diamonds, signed Mauboussin, indistinct numbering, maker's marks.

Good condition with light scratching throughout. Small area of discoloration near the tip (as seen on page 87 of the catalogue). Very small spot of gold solder visible from the front where the pin bridge is attached, but this is seen only on close inspection. The diamonds weigh approximately 5.75 carats and are approximately F-G color, VVS-VS clarity. A wonderfully three-dimensional and dynamic design.
In response to your inquiry, we are pleased to provide you with a general report of the condition of the property described above.

Prospective buyers should inspect each lot to satisfy themselves as to condition and must understand that any statement made by Sotheby's is merely a subjective qualified opinion. Illustrations in the catalogue may not be actual size. Prospective purchasers are reminded that, unless the catalogue description specifically states that a stone is natural, we have assumed that some form of treatment may have been used and that such treatment may not be permanent. Our presale estimates reflect this assumption.
