Antique Starburst Diamond Brooch/Pendant/Hairpin In Original Case

About the Item

This magnificent late-Victorian diamond brooch in starburst motif will brighten up the sky with an explosive blast of celestial light. The twelve rays are expertly handcrafted in darkened silver over 18ct gold and radiate with just over a carat of scintillating diamonds arrayed in graduating size. The back is fitted with a pin clasp and chain hoop, allowing you to wear it as a brooch or hang it as a necklace pendant from any chain of your choice. Adding to its versatility is a detachable hair fitting for those occasions when you feel like pinning it on your hairdo and evoking Princess Sissi vibes. This stellar jewel dates from 1890 and was sourced from a UK auction in its original fitted case. It is styled in a typical Victorian aesthetic and features the era’s much-beloved star motif. Victorian stars were a symbol of guidance and wisdom, and just like this antique diamond brooch, they were often accented with old-cut diamonds for endurance. A celestial showstopper and true piece of history to be cherished for generations. Wear it as a shining star on your lapel, neckline, or hair to illuminate the way when you need a bit of guidance throughout your day/night.

  • Blue Chalcedony and Diamond Flower Brooch to Pendant Converter
    Located in Dubai, DU
    There's something so ethereal about the colour of this blue chalcedony flower brooch that it instantly captures the eye – and heart! Sizable yet delicate, this charming bloom boasts five articulated petals carved in the dreamiest lavender chalcedony hue, guaranteed to add a heavenly glow to any outfit. And if that doesn’t work, the miniature 18ct white gold flower composed of 21 round brilliant-cut diamonds sitting in the centre is sure to do the trick. Proving that this captivating confection can get even better, the brooch easily converts to a pendant and can be worn on chains of any length to achieve the desired effect. This contemporary work of art was sourced at a US auction and dates from the eclectic fashion period of the 1980s-1990s during brooches’ first big comeback. Designs often featured floral and other nature-inspired motifs, while large and bold pins were worn unconventionally, like on the era’s signature wide belts. With chalcedony’s alleged harmonising powers and the unmistakable sparkle of high-colour and clarity diamonds, this statement flower brooch is a true gem find! Pin it anywhere on your top, use it to close off your shirt, or style it with a silk rope necklace...
