The brooch is very well modelled in two tone 18ct gold to depict a bird of paradise; the wings, feathers and beak is manufactured in 18ct yellow gold whilst head and body is manufactured in 18ct white gold.
The birds body and head are also set with old European cut diamonds (22 in total), whilst its tail feathers are set with calibre cut rubies, and a round cut ruby in it’s eye.
The brooch is highly decorative, its wings ribbed for added definition and a ribbed design around the tail feathers.
The rubies are an excellent colour, all original and well matched.
