About the Item

An impressive 0.02 carat ruby and sapphire, 0.19 carat diamond and 18 karat gold, silver set jabot style pin brooch; part of our diverse antique jewelry collections This fine and impressive fox hunting pin has been crafted in 18 k yellow and white gold with a silver setting. This jabot* pin is ornamented to one end with a fox at full stretch, and to the other with a horse and rider. The fox is ornamented with ten pavé set Dutch cut diamonds, and a single bezel set cabochon cut ruby to represent the fox's eye. The horse is embellished with a further 15 pavé set Dutch cut diamonds, with a bezel set cabochon cut sapphire representing its eye. The rider is accented with hand painted enamels, showing wear in keeping with age. The 18k white gold pin is secured via a push fit sleeve to the reverse of the horse and rider. * Jabot pins were initially worn when men's shirts had a ruffle to the front. The pin was employed to keep the ruffle in place. Jabot pins have subsequently been worn by men as either cravat or tie pins, and by ladies as brooches or lapel pins. This antique 1900's hunting brooch has been independently tested using state of the art technology (Niton XL2 Analyzer) and verified as 18 k gold and silver. The brooch is supplied with an independent diamond grading report card. Images do not always reflect the true color and brilliance of gemstones and diamonds. The video however provides a truer representation of the actual color and showcases each stone.] Condition This impressive antique brooch is fine quality set with ruby, sapphire, hand painted enamels and very well colour matched, very high colour graded old cut diamonds. The brooch is a very good gauge of gold and is in excellent condition, with slight losses to the enamel in keeping with age. Reflections in photographs may detract from the true representation of this fine example of hunting related jewellery/estate jewelry.
