The "Walska Briolette Diamond" Brooch, Van Cleef & Arpels, 1971. One of Van Cleef & Arpels’ most exquisite special orders is a delicate flying bird carrying a 95-carat pear-shaped yellow Diamond. In the 1930s, this unique gem belonged to the opera singer and socialite Ganna Walska, who wore it as a pendant. Its new owner had asked the Maison to combine this exceptional stone with a bird of yellow Gold, Emeralds, and Sapphires in celebration of the birth of her son in 1972.
