This Art Deco Aquamarine Brooch by Alabaster & Wilson is a stunning expression of 1920s-era elegance, geometry, and grace. Meticulously crafted in platinum, the brooch is designed in the form of a stylized bow—one of the most iconic motifs of the Art Deco period. At the center sits a beautifully faceted aquamarine, whose icy blue hue is complemented by sparkling diamond accents that bring balance and brilliance to the composition.
Alabaster & Wilson, a renowned British jeweler established in 1887, was known for its exceptional craftsmanship and refined approach to design. This piece exemplifies their artistry, combining strong architectural lines with a sense of lightness and fluidity. The platinum setting allows for intricate detailing, from precise millegrain edges to delicate filigree work, which enhances the overall structure and luminosity of the brooch.
The featured aquamarine is chosen not only for its clarity but also for its subtle color—echoing the elegance of water and the modernism of the Art Deco aesthetic. Diamonds, either old-cut or single-cut, frame the stone and trace the contours of the bow, adding depth and contrast without overpowering the central gemstone.
This Art Deco Aquamarine Brooch is a collector’s dream, ideal for connoisseurs of antique design, fine craftsmanship, and signature period pieces. Whether worn as a statement pin or displayed in a curated vintage collection, the brooch offers a sophisticated glimpse into one of the most creative chapters in jewelry history.
