At the centre, a natural oval aquamarine measuring approximately 5.75mm by 4.5mm is set within a raised rub-over collet that lifts the stone clear of the bar, allowing light to enter from below and giving the pale blue stone a quiet luminosity against the warm rose gold.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe restraint of the design is deliberate. Art Deco jewellers working in the 1920s understood that a single well-chosen stone, properly set, needed nothing around it. The aquamarine here - with its cool, clear blue-green tone - provides exactly the contrast the rose gold requires: not competing with it, but making the warmth of the metal more apparent by sitting against it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe reverse is fitted with a long pin and an open C-shaped clasp. A small loop is present for attaching a safety chain, though no chain is currently fitted. The brooch is marked 9ct to the reverse.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAquamarine is the traditional birthstone for March.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVery good antique condition with light wear consistent with age.
