    The bird brooch is a classic design used by many of France's best houses during the 1960s. The design was reminiscent of late 1940s representations of birds as brooches, particularly birds of paradise, created by important French houses to represent liberation and freedom post-war. Boucheron created various jewelled and gem-set bird brooch designs during the 1960s. The present lot is an attractive turquoise and diamond example of this particular motif.
