Antique Edwardian Matched Pair of Diamond & Platinum Buckle Brooches -- Signed Marcus & Co., New York
Antique Edwardian Matched Pair of Diamond & Platinum Buckle Brooches -- Signed Marcus & Co., New York
Signed, Sentimental.
We are pleased to offer a rare, intact matched pair of buckle brooches from Marcus & Co., handcrafted in platinum and set with old European and a few old mine–cut diamonds totaling approximately 2.25 carats. The diamonds are bright and well-matched, individually set in platinum with a subtle S-curve flourish between each stone—no millegrain or filigree, just streamlined platinum work executed with precision and restraint.
When we discovered these, we immediately saw the styling possibilities: one on each sleeve cuff, on opposing shirt collar points, or as strong and intentional lapel adornments. They are equally striking worn flanking the waist of a dress, or on a ribbon at the neck or at the wrists.
As modern and architectural as they feel, the buckle motif was deeply sentimental in Victorian and Edwardian jewelry—signifying loyalty, devotion, and enduring bonds. With a pair, one can imagine they may once have shared between two people: a matched emblem of their connection.
Marcus & Co. was among the finest New York ateliers of the period, and signed Marcus pieces remain consistently sought after. A signed pair that has stayed together for more than a century is especially scarce — particularly in such excellent Edwardian condition and in a meaningful motif that transitions seamlessly to the 21st century.
All around, swoon-worthy.
Safety catches present.
Marked “Marcus” on each brooch.
Platinum, diamond.
