Description: One for the gem enthusiasts! This brooch literally shines out of any collection. The emerald - wow, the star of the show, just a great "old mine" colour and almost certainly Columbian. The diamonds, older cuts are super sparkly, natural pearls are a nice addition and then we have 2, stunning Australian crystal opals that are full of fire, finally 2 natural, pink/red rubies. It would be very expensive to buy all these stones, possibly more than the cost of the whole brooch. We thought about converting this piece into eg, ring and earrings or pendants etc but its just so beautifully put together and in its box and its just so, so pretty! So it stays as is!
