• Lot Description
• Described & Photographed By: CHRIS AJP GIA / NOFOE 71517 / EST. $2000-$3000
• Title: Paash Mid Century Modern Masterpiece Natural Sapphire Diamond 18k Gold Platinum Pendant Brooch
  

• Description: An exceptional ca.1960/1965/1975 brooch in a boldly architectural, geometric design reminiscent of Habitat 67. Little is known about this designer & many sites suggest that Paash was Swiss or German. His / her work has been described as modernist, brutalist, abstract and today is highly cherished. A modernist aesthetic likely of American or Canadian manufacture, the sapphires here are exquisite & the diamonds are very white and clean. The added bail converts this into a pendant as well!
