Magnificent Retro Style Gold Brooch with Untreated Burma Rubies, Great

Glowing red rubies and gleaming gold form two paradisiacal blossoms. Large, curved leaves, vibrant with life, open up to present the precious stones. Their intense, slightly pink red colour is unique. These are untreated rubies from Burma. The classic, consistently highest-rated origin for rubies This brooch was hallmarked in Great Britain around 1940 and speaks the design language of late Art Deco, also known as "Retro Style" in English-speaking countries. The fashion for bright, white geometries changed to yellow-gold, more pasty designs. Like this blossom. The decoration of the brooch is precious due to the rubies, while the low fineness of the gold of nine carats is surprising. This is probably due to the scarcity of precious metals during the war. The rubies are probably from an old heirloom and have found a new use here. Because even in difficult times, one should not do without beauty in life!
