Two intertwined and domed gold ribbons feature a diagonal finish with a satin or guilloché effect, typical of \u003cstrong\u003eEuropean artisanal jewelry from the 1960s to 1970s\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach ribbon is enhanced with a row of \u003cstrong\u003esmall round blue sapphires\u003c\/strong\u003e, brilliant-cut and set in \u003cstrong\u003eprong settings\u003c\/strong\u003e. Based on their uniform hue and consistent clarity, it is likely that these stones are \u003cstrong\u003esynthetic sapphires\u003c\/strong\u003e, widely used at that time in decorative creations, particularly for their stable visual qualities and affordable cost. This choice of material does not detract from the charm of the piece, which plays on the \u003cstrong\u003ecolor contrast\u003c\/strong\u003e between the metals and the stones to create an elegant and expressive effect.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe style of this brooch is in line with the \u003cstrong\u003eabstract and sculptural trend\u003c\/strong\u003e typical of the 60s–70s, a period during which jewelers explored free, voluminous and dynamic forms, inspired by nature or movement. The composition also recalls \u003cstrong\u003eribbon knots or stylized bouquets\u003c\/strong\u003e, very popular in brooches of this period, often worn on jackets, coats, or formal dresses.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe quality of execution, the fineness of the textures, and the choice of 18K gold indicate a \u003cstrong\u003ehigh-quality craftsmanship\u003c\/strong\u003e, probably European, even Italian or French. It is a beautiful and imposing piece of \u003cstrong\u003evintage jewelry\u003c\/strong\u003e, decorative, intended to be an \u003cstrong\u003eelegant and expressive clothing accessory\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Marchand de Bijoux","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57646302429515,"sku":"A.1332.02636-1","price":1500.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1024\/3663\/4955\/files\/15817437970763-d1f8c42e94ecb5ce9c506bc780a777716030f770.jpg?v=1782134057","url":"https:\/\/marchand-de-bijoux.com\/en\/products\/broche-deux-ors-18k-avec-saphir-synthetique","provider":"Marchand de Bijoux","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
