18ct yellow gold Victorian brooch - Large and heavy foiled back diamond heirloom

About the Item

For sale is this stunning Victorian brooch. This royal diamond brooch was most likely made in Belgium or France in the middle of the 19th century. It is set with exceptionally large rose cut diamonds. These stunning diamonds are in very good condition and foil back set like most diamonds during that period, this is a special technique that was used to bring the lustre of the diamonds to its best quality. A crescent shape set with seven large rose cut diamonds is the central part of this piece. Floral shapes, small hand made engravings and twisted gold ropes finish off the large base of this brooch. Meanwhile small dangling flowers set with tiny rose cut diamonds ensure that this piece is a joyful treasure. This extraordinary brooch is made in 18k yellow gold and is in very good condition considering its age. We choose not to polish it in any way. This results in some parts still having their patina colours which they gained over the years. We adore this brooch because of all its lustre, moreover what is not to love about this beauty. Furthermore because Victorian jewels like this one, are rather rare as when time passed, most are worn out, were melted or taken apart and re-used for more modern designs. We therefore chose to keep the pendant as is, meaning that we did not clean this beauty although that would be possible. If pleased, we can clean this pendant a bit before shipping it out to give it a better shine. Width: 3,65 cm (4,25 cm with pin ) Hight: 7,45 cm Thickness : 1,85 cm Total weight: 18 grams Condition : Very Good - Antique Material : 18K gold Gemstones : 21 rose cut diamonds Hallmark : non - spectro tested Condition : The condition of the jewel can be seen on the pictures. Please study them carefully and be your own judge. The present scratches in gold have come over the years as with all vintage beautiful jewellery that are worn. If you are not satisfied with your purchase, please let us know so that we can offer you a full refund after you have returned the jewel. My goal is to find a good and happy second home for my jewellery. I therefore think it is very important that you are satisfied with your purchase. Import TAX : Please please note that Customs & duties might apply when ordering outside of the European Union.
