Vintage 18ct Gold Ruby and Diamond Spray Brooch by Cropp & Farr

Description An elegant and sculptural spray brooch by the renowned jewellers Cropp & Farr, beautifully crafted in rich 18ct gold and showcasing a striking interplay of texture, movement and light. The design takes the form of an elaborate ribbon-like spray, with sweeping, undulating strands of yellow gold that curl and overlap in a fluid, bow-inspired composition. The gold surfaces are finely textured with a hand-worked, bark-like finish, lending depth and warmth to the piece and enhancing its three-dimensional presence. Interspersed among the flowing gold ribbons are delicate diamond-set accents, fashioned in contrasting white gold and shaped as stylised leaves. These diamond elements add crisp brilliance and visual contrast, catching the light with every movement. At the heart of the brooch sits a vivid ruby, claw-set within a small floral cluster of diamonds, forming a striking focal point that draws the eye to the centre of the design. The rich red hue of the ruby provides a beautiful counterpoint to the warm gold tones and the icy sparkle of the diamonds. The reverse reveals a well-engineered pin fitting, ensuring the brooch sits securely when worn, while also reflecting the quality craftsmanship associated with Cropp & Farr. Bold yet refined, this brooch exemplifies mid-century elegance and would make a sophisticated statement on a lapel, dress or evening coat. A superb example of British fine jewellery design, combining artistry, precious materials and timeless appeal. Approximate size: 4cm x 3cm Product code: 224X0264
