Pair of French Retro 18K Turquoise, Diamond and Pearl Dove Clip Brooches

These delightful French Retro clips take the form of two bright doves in flight, fashioned entirely from turquoise cabochons. Their plump, smoothly polished turquoise, each in its own shade of robin’s egg and cerulean, lend the pair a storybook charm. Each dove features a tiny rose cut diamond eye, while one carries a petite pearl suspended from its beak, a sweet nod to the age-old symbolism of birds as messengers of affection. Whether worn together in flight or perched separately, they add a cheerful touch all wrapped in the unmistakable elegance of French workmanship. Their graceful forms, subtle tonal variations, and whimsical charm evoke the artistry of Cartier and the fluid, sculptural elegance of Belperron.
