ANSORENA FLOWER-SHAPED BROOCH IN GOLD WITH DIAMONDS

ANSORENA brooch, ca. 1991, made in 18 kt yellow and white gold with diamonds. Design based on raised petals arranged in two layers surrounding the semi-spherical calyx of the flower with diamonds, with an estimated total weight of 6.50 ct. Stem with calibrated baguette-cut diamonds and leaves paved with grain-set diamonds. The iconic jewel presents refined lines and a subtle use of gems typical of Ansorena's 20th-century creations and especially those made by Don Alfonso Mato.
