About the Item
Antique Victorian Onyx 1.4 Carat Diamond Shell Brooch 18K Gold circa 1860
Enchanting onyx diamond brooch in the shape of a shell with a setting made of 18K/750 gold. The shell, made of cut and polished onyx, is set with four sparkling old-cut diamonds and crowned by a finely branched laurel branch decorated with small seed pearls. The arrangement of the diamonds in the shape of a three-leaf clover is reminiscent of the playing card suit clubs and could be an indication that the previous owner was an enthusiastic card player. The unusual brooch has an artfully crafted mount made of high-carat gold on the back, the pin closes with a C-hook. A small eyelet also allows it to be worn as a pendant on a chain. The rare antique brooch was made in Victorian times around 1860. It is wonderfully preserved and has a size of 4 x 3.5 cm, the weight is 15.6 grams.
