About the Item

One hundred rose cut diamonds on foil are dispersed over this silver Victorian jewel with an 18K red gold back, which is wearable as a pendant as well as a brooch thanks to skilful crafting. A central grandiose rose cut diamond arises from two terraced diamond ovals just to emphasize your spot in the sun. Surely the endearment for diamonds can be felt from the smallest red gold detail to the darling style of the love-knot bow beneath the loop ring as the suspension of this multifunctional art piece. Antique jewelry object group: Combined brooch-pendant: This jewel can be worn in several manners, as brooch or as two types of pendants. When worn as pendant it can be either only with the loop ring attached to the oval pendant or with the bow between the loop ring and the oval pendant (see the pictures for this). When worn as a pendant, it is possible to easily unscrew the pin of the back of the brooch. And due to a charming hinge system the hook at the back of the oval (that holds the pin when worn as a brooch) can be smoothly clapped flat against the backside of the oval pendant, allowing the jewel to hang smoothly flat.

Country of origin: Although it does not carry any legible control marks we believe this to be of French or Belgian origin. Style: Victorian Style specifics: We consider this to be of the Grand Victorian Period. This second Victorian period is famous for its ostentatious pieces set with pearls and diamonds (from South Africa). From ca. 1850 wealthy English had reported about jewelry from India and Japan, which heavily inspired the jewelers of this period. This period also corresponds with the death of Queen Victoria's husband King Albert making mourning jewelry (set with heavy dark stones) the type of jewelry specific for this period. Period: ca. 1870 Theme: Multi layered oval dangling under a bow (a bow is an ornamental knot made out of a ribbon) Material: 18k red gold and silver. (touchstone tested) - See also: The silver on gold technique Silver on gold technique: This technique was very often used with jewelry containing diamonds because jewelers of that time believed that only a silver mounting could render the true beauty of a precious stone. They were also aware of the fact that silver jewelry often left black stains on clothing or skin, so they resolved the matter by coating the backs of the jewels in gold. Technique: The rose cuts are set on foil. This is a special technique that was used to bring the lustre of the diamonds to its best quality. Diamonds: A modern oval brilliant cut diamond of these dimensions would weigh an approximate 5.00 carat! The dimensions of this stone are approximately 1,30 cm (0,51 inch) x 0,95 cm (0,37 inch). - The quality of this huge stone is high, close to perfect for a stone this age. With the bare eye its looks flawless but with a loupe (magnifying 10 times) one can see a small inclusion at 4 o'clock. The color of this stone is also in the higher whiter regions, but hard to determine because the stone is foil set (like all the stones in this jewel). - The big stone is accompanied by no less than 99 rose cut diamonds. We do not have the weight of the diamonds which is normal in our trade when it comes to rose cuts. - All diamond weights, color grades and clarity are approximate since stones are not removed from their mounts to preserve the integrity of the setting. - We have all diamonds screened by the IJGC-lab for whether they are natural or synthetic, and all diamonds in this jewel are 100% guaranteed to be natural! Birthstones: Diamond is the birthstone (or month stone) for April. Hallmarks: No trace. Dimensions: Total height when dangling under bow 5,78 cm (2,28 inch) Weight: 22,60 gram (22,60 dwt) Reference Nº: 12297-0015 - Copyright photography: Adin, fine antique jewelry - The jewelry on our pictures is NOT Photoshopped - Comes with certificate
