Victorian Graded 'Fancy Light Yellow' Rose Cut Diamond Cluster Pendant 3.15carat

About the Item

This dazzling antique diamond pendant was made in Germany and dates to the mid-19th century. The stunning central pear-shaped ‘fancy light yellow’ rose cut diamond weighs approx. 1.5ct. (SI 1) and is set in a crimpled rubover silver setting. Surrounding the central stone at the furthermost point of each cardinal direction are four slightly smaller round ‘light fancy yellow’ rose cut diamonds (SI 1) (the uppermost being slightly more white), with a total approximate weight of 1.1ct. The spaces in between these stones are filled with gold scrollwork and eleven smaller rose cut diamonds of varying sizes, the same grading as above, totalling approx. 055ct. All of the diamonds are foiled and in closed back settings, typical of the period. The elegant drop shape exemplifies the predominant form worn during the period with areas of both sectioned and interlinked components designed to move, swish and glisten more beautifully in candlelight. It also accommodated the 19th century preference for low necklines, leaving a visual gap to be filled by a statement pendant. This jewel demonstrates seriously impressive workmanship, characterised by its openwork design and dazzling rose cut diamonds which take the form of various foliate motifs as well as a coronet and cross. The pendant is crafted in both solid gold and silver, weighing 7.8g on its own. It measures 2.2cm at widest point and 4cm in length. It can also be worn as a brooch (a later addition), and hangs from a 14K white gold multi-strand anchor link chain which measures 15” and weighs 6.5g (total weight of necklace and pendant is 14.3g). The pendant comes with an assessment and appraisal document from a Munich based goldsmith in 2004, complete with all the diamond grading and approximate carat calculations, as well as an appraisal value of €8750 (€13.500 in todays currency, which does not take into account the appreciation of value of the antique jewel itself!). The diamond pendant is in excellent condition, all the stones are securely set and would make a stellar addition for any collector. Please do not hesitate to message for any more information or photos!
