Cuzy 18K Gold Platinum Diamond Floral Brooch
Gold & platinum · Diamonds · Italy, 1960
This captivating brooch, created in Milan by Cuzy, is a refined expression of Italian retro elegance from the 1960s—where meticulous metalwork and sculptural form converge.
Shaped as a star-like flower, the design is executed in a harmonious combination of gold and platinum. Each petal is articulated with finely chased gold leaf motifs, radiating warmth and texture, while a platinum border set with brilliant white diamonds outlines the form with crisp luminosity. At the center, a diamond cluster anchors the composition, adding depth and a concentrated burst of sparkle.
The diamonds—approximately 2.3 carats total—are used with restraint and precision, enhancing the geometry rather than overwhelming it. The contrast between the satin-finished gold leaves and the cool brilliance of platinum-set diamonds gives the brooch its visual rhythm and enduring appeal.
Crafted in Italy circa 1960, this piece exemplifies the era’s confident yet elegant aesthetic and Cuzy’s reputation for exacting craftsmanship and tasteful design. It is a jewel conceived to be admired up close as much as from across a room.
Very good vintage condition. Diamonds bright and well-matched; metalwork crisp with light wear consistent with age; pin mechanism secure.
A sophisticated and collectible Italian jewel—uniting floral poetry, precision craftsmanship, and timeless elegance.
