Circa 1935, this Art Deco brooch is set with diamonds and “tutti-frutti gems” (calibre sapphires, diamonds, and rubies). It’s shaped like two parrots playing on a diamond-set branch. The birds are gem-set with diamond details.
The best part – each parrot detaches and can be worn separately. You could relocate them every few minutes and be a living parrot puppet show. The possibilities are endless.
