Granulation 20K Gold, Muzo-Colour Emerald and Diamond Lozenge-Shaped Brooch. 3.6*4.1cm Wt:8.7g 18th-19th-century Iberian antique brooch of lozenge-shaped outline, crafted in 20-carat gold, combining traditional Iberian filigree and granulation techniques. Intricately twisted-woven gold wire is embellished with granular gold beads of granulation, forming elaborate scrolling foliate motifs arranged in a radiating cross-shaped composition. The central principal emerald is of Muzo-colour, glassy body with excellent fire; further emeralds positioned to each corner, interspersed with multiple old-cut diamonds. The combined filigree-and-granulation goldwork demands exceptional craftsmanship. Well-preserved intact survivors are scarce, constituting a representative example of Iberian antique jewellery art.
