Estate 18K Yellow Gold 0.22ctw Diamond Swirl Brooch

Crafted in 18 karat yellow and white gold, this vintage brooch from the 1960s–70s features a bold radial design made of textured, undulating gold wire. Thirteen round single-cut diamonds are scattered across the surface, totaling approximately 0.22 carats with H-I color and SI1-SI2 clarity. Measuring 1 7/16" in diameter, the brooch secures with a traditional pin stem and C-clasp.

Dramatic, dimensional, and full of character—this brooch captures the expressive style of late 20th-century design. The gold coils give the piece a sunburst-like form, while the scattered diamonds evoke a constellation of sparkle. It makes an impactful accent on a wool coat, silk lapel, or even at the center of a high-neck blouse.
