Platinum tested. But I don't see a platinum mark anywhere in the pics. No milgrain. I don't know if all of them have milgrain? A little over 3 carats total carat weight. I think the center diamond is OMC? But is it an authentic art deco piece? Thanks!

First, not an expert by any means.

I have an art deco platinum brooch from Lang with no hallmarks, I wouldn't think not having hallmarks is a worrisome sign. I think the main diamond is an OEC, not an OMC. I also don't think not having milgrain is a worrisome sign, again this is a brooch from Lang that they say is from circa 1925 and they're very reputable:

And more late Art Deco dress clips:

I see nothing in your images that would worry me about its authenticity but again I'm by no means an expert. Recreating these brooches with antique diamonds would generally be more trouble than it's worth when someone could make other jewelry pieces that sell more readily like earrings and rings.
 
Your brooch is stunning!! TY for the help
 
Did a little more research. I think it’s likely 1930s. I’ll share pics when it arrives
