Vintage French Tremblant Diamond Pin Gold
Vintage French Tremblant Diamond Pin Gold
This French Tremblant brooch pin depicts a long-petaled bloom that features diamonds arranged in a flower shape that "trembles" as you move. “‘En tremblant’ is a French term – meaning “to tremble”. It was first used to describe 18th and 19th-century jewelry where parts of the diamond set pieces were attached to a trembler (a material that acts as a spring such as a thin metal wire) to create movement in the jewel when worn. Brooches mounted in this way were particularly effective in reflecting the scintillating fire of candlelight.” Lang Antique University
