About the Item

A Victorian diamond set partridge brooch, set throughout with old brilliant-cut and rose-cut diamonds, estimated to weigh a total of 1 carat, with a ruby set to the eye, silver set to a gold mount with a brooch pin fitting, circa 1890, measuring approximately 3.2 x 1cm, gross weight 7.55 grams.

The eye of the partridge is a vivid cabochon ruby. The partridge’s legs have been meticulously rendered, featuring wonderful detail. This brooch is a lovely and expressive piece.
