• Lot Description
  Vintage 18k Moonstone and Ruby Penguin Brooch by Bucherer The sons of Carl-Friedrich and Luise Bucherer joined the family business at the beginning of the 1920s. Thanks to their wealth of experience, Ernst and Carl Eduard Bucherer led the business to even greater success. Ernst Bucherer entered into a particularly fruitful partnership with Hans Wilsdorf, the founder of Rolex, in 1924, adding the watch brand – which at the time was barely established – to the Bucherer range. Today, Rolex is one of the most famous watch brands in the world and remains Bucherer’s most important partner. In 2013, Bucherer celebrated its 125th anniversary and opened the world’s largest watch and jewelry store in Paris. "The centrepieces of our jewellery range are the jewellery collections designed and produced in the company’s in-house ateliers, as well as individually crafted pieces featuring particularly rare natural-coloured diamonds, unique colour gemstones and sought-after pearls." This vintage penguin brooch is steeped in rich history having been created by Bucherer in the mid-century. The well crafted piece is not only beautiful, but a chance to get to own a piece of jewelry history. As they say, "They don't make them like this anymore," and this brooch is a testament to that. Piece measures 1 3/8" wide x 1 1/4" tall at the largest penguin Moonstones measure 16x10mm, 14x8.5mm, 10x8mm Rubies are 1.5mm each Stamped 18k Weight: 14.4 grams 00016254
