A marvellous Art Deco brooch featuring two sky blue aquamarines of impressive carat sizes, surrounded by shimmering diamonds in a scroll design frame. This piece was made and signed by Hennell, the prominent jeweller known for their impressive Art Deco pieces made in the 1920s and 1930s.The beauty of this brooch lies in its versatility. The scintillating diamond-set runs add length to this statement piece but can be removed along with the smaller emerald-cut aquamarine at the wearer’s choice. The larger aquamarine can then be worn as a more subtle brooch, and the smaller aquamarine can be transformed into a beautiful ring to compliment. This is a truly one-of-a kind piece and can be worn for multiple looks and is sure to catch the eye whichever way it is worn.
