Full-Cataloguing
Evolving from the previous decade, brooches continued to be the fashion in the 1950s. Growing interest in naturalism, animals, flowers and leaves were the theme for brooches. While somewhat abstract, these brooches were more schematically-shaped rather than botanically sketched, in the form of rounded or elongated outlines. This Boucheron brooch is a typical evening piece from the1950s, the platinum mount is elaborately designed and set with an abundance of colourless diamonds in cascades or rainfalls of baguette and brilliant-cut stones.
