A pretty posy, indeed.
This contemporary kunzite flower brooch by Boucheron is designed as a circular-cut diamond sculpted flower, centering upon a cushion-cut kunzite. The kunzite is within a marquise-cut diamond surround, the pistil and circular-cut diamond stamen mounted en tremblant. The flower is supported by the baguette-cut diamond undulating stem, decorated with two marquise-cut diamond buds and mounted in platinum.
I just think it’s lovely. I love the little diamond leaves, the angle of the stem, and the delicate points of the petals. I don’t really wear brooches, but if I did, I would want one of them to look like this kunzite flower. Maybe pinned on a scarf, or on the shoulder of a dress? What would you do with it?
This kunzite flower brooch was sold as part of Christie’s October 21, 2009 Rare Jewels sale. All images and info are thanks to Christie’s.

It’s very similar to the Queen’s spectacular Williamson brooch. I’m not much of a brooch person either, but when I saw it in person at the exhibit at Buckingham Palace last summer it was breathtaking! thanks for sharing this one! And congratulations on a spectacular 6 months!! I really enjoy your work and all the fabulous gems you share with us! Thank you!
Thanks so much! You’re too sweet. I’ll have to track down the Royal brooch that this one reminded you of, I bet it’s breathtaking.
Oooh, I hadn’t even thought of that! Ooh, it would be so pretty.
I would want to wear this beauty in my hair.
Always.
