A vertically placed platinum and diamond brooch in a stable upper design with lower hanging elements. The upper brooch consists of a diamond encrusted flower arrangement symmetrically placed on both sides of a vertical rounded oval encrusted with small round diamonds and a square diamond facing upward at the top, all surrounding a large round diamond with three leaves made from marquise cut diamonds atop. The bouquets and oval meet at the middle where a pattern of three baguettes placed vertically are streaming down from underneath the large round diamond in the center traveling through to the middle connected to a horizontally placed rectangle embellished with small baguettes, a square and a semicircle diamond at each end. A single horizontally placed baguette connects to the underside of the above followed by a semicircle diamond where a link attaches the stable aspect of the brooch with the hanging design. A vertically placed baguette with the arc segment from a diamond encrusted semicircle attaches to the setting where two horizontally placed baguettes are mounted, side by side. A succession of marquise diamonds horizontally placed are connected starting with three, to two and finally one where the brooch ends. This brooch could easily fit into the palm of your hand. The photograph captures the brooch in dramatic light where the brightest is reflected on the brooch then dissipates gradually into darkness against a gray ground with a dark cast shadow showing that the light was shining from above front.

An elongated V-shaped diamond and platinum brooch; its triangular shape characteristic of Art Deco and vaguely reminiscent of a ram's head. Two opposing wide, spoon-like platinum bars frame the piece, the bottom remaining unconnected by supporting an especially large eight-sided octahedral gemstone. Smaller rows of diamonds fill the center portion and are accented by an additional gemstone protruding near the top of the brooch. A horizontal row of diamonds create a smooth, horizontal line at the top of the piece. While luxurious, the brooch is also inspiring in its simplicity and light. Designer Raymond Templier was known for finding inspiration in curving geometric shapes and the mechanical, including elements of the machine age such as cars, as fodder for jewelry design. The brilliance of the diamonds against the sheer whiteness of the platinum, set within the dramatic curving and straight lines creates drama and eclectic nuance. Templier was one of the founding members of the French 'Union des Artistes Modernes' and created elegant pieces sought after by the newly active, highly modern woman of the 1930s.
