Antique French Griffin Brooch in 18k Solid Yellow Gold With Diamonds

A striking symbol of myth and mastery, this exceptional antique griffin brooch was crafted in France around 1904. Fashioned from rich 18k yellow gold, the piece captures the mythical creature in dynamic, serpentine form, its wings raised mid-flight and tail curling with elegance and motion.

Accented with glittering rose-cut diamonds set in platinum-tipped sections along the wings, limbs, and tail, the brooch gleams with refined detail. A ruby-set eye adds a fierce, watchful gaze, while the griffin clutches a larger diamond in its open jaws - symbolizing strength, protection, and vigilance, true to its legendary origins.

This Art Nouveau-era treasure is a brilliant example of early 20th-century French craftsmanship, where fantasy and elegance unite in wearable art. Whether worn or collected, this brooch brings a powerful and poetic presence to any fine jewellery collection.
