An open, asymmetrical wreath of approximately 12 carats of round-cut peridots rises toward a cluster of diamond-set flowers, their softly rounded petals contrasting with the slender, baguette-set platinum stems. A small diamond butterfly rests along the lower curve, introducing a playful detail to the composition.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eFounded in Kyiv by Joseph Marchak in the nineteenth century and later established in Paris, the house became known for its imaginative approach to high jewelry, particularly its expressive use of colored gemstones and naturalistic motifs. This brooch reflects that artistic sensibility: the lively, almost irregular arrangement of green stones suggests organic growth, while approximately 6 carats of white diamonds lend definition and brilliance to the flowers and butterfly. The openwork construction allows light to pass through the design, preserving a sense of delicacy despite its generous proportions.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eAt 2.5 inches in height, the brooch possesses a graceful vertical silhouette, with the platinum framework lending structure to the seemingly spontaneous arrangement of blossoms, foliage, and wings.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cem\u003eA small garden held in platinum, where green stones gather beneath the quiet shimmer of a butterfly.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDetails\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaker:\u003c\/strong\u003e Marchak\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePeriod:\u003c\/strong\u003e Circa 1960\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e France\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMetal:\u003c\/strong\u003e Platinum\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStones \u0026amp; Carat Weight:\u003c\/strong\u003e Round-cut green peridots, approximately 12.00 carats; white diamonds, approximately 6.00 carats\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2.5 inches high × 1.5 inches wide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 35.0 grams\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDesign:\u003c\/strong\u003e Openwork floral brooch with diamond-set flowers, peridot wreath, and diamond butterfly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClosure \/ Mechanics:\u003c\/strong\u003e Brooch pin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Excellent vintage condition\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Marchak","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67919014265105,"sku":"PI65181","price":55000.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0905\/9008\/5393\/files\/IMG_1634_Product_Beautifier_4373495.jpg?v=1793299923","url":"https:\/\/www.odeoncollection.com\/products\/marchak-peridot-and-diamond-floral-brooch-in-platinum-circa-1960","provider":"Odeon Collection","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
