Raymond Yard Diamond Double Leaf Brooch
This 1950s platinum double leaf brooch by the New York society jeweler, Raymond Yard, is set with over four carats of diamonds. Sparkling round brilliant-cut diamonds outline the bold, asymmetrical leaves with their stylized, polished platinum veins, and flashing diamond baguette stems. Highly three-dimensional and dynamic, wear this original mid-century brooch as a radiant study in abstract form and structure.
