Antique Gold and Diamond Necklace Rose Cut Diamond Victorian

About the Item

This remarkable vintage necklace, crafted in the Netherlands circa 1900, features a total of 69 rose-cut diamonds, all set in silver foil-backed mounts.  At the heart of the design is a superb diamond drop element, its central rose-cut diamond weighing approximately 1 carat and measuring 6mm in diameter. The remaining stones, meticulously arranged in interlinked floral motifs, shimmer with captivating brilliance thanks to their foil-backed settings—a technique designed to maximise light reflection in candlelit evening gatherings. Though evocative of the Georgian era with its use of rose-cut diamonds and silver-backed settings, this piece is distinctly Dutch, reflecting a continuation of traditional jewellery techniques well into the early 20th century. While the outer surface of the necklace appears to be silver—boasting a beautifully aged patina—it is actually constructed in solid 14K yellow gold (with a thin layer of silver applied on the front), a hallmark of Dutch craftsmanship of the period. The necklace weighs a substantial 19.78 grams, reflecting both its craftsmanship and its statement-worthy presence. Measuring 41cm (16 inches) in length, it sits gracefully on the collarbone, with sectioned components designed to move and catch the light with every turn. Condition: Very good, with all stones securely set and the box clasp functioning perfectly. A true statement piece, combining historic craftsmanship with timeless elegance—a masterpiece of Dutch jewellery from the turn of the century.

Antique Mid-19th Century, French 18K Agate and Rose Cut Diamond Cluster Ring
Located in London, GB
This stunning antique cluster ring was made in France and dates to around the mid 19th century, circa 1860. In the centre rests a smooth banded agate in an open back setting, encircled by a halo of rose cut diamonds in closed-back, cutdown silver settings with a combined approximate weight of 0.15 carats. The ring has a decorative pierced gallery in the form of crescents and a solid semi-circular shank. The shoulders are decorated with two applied fleur-de-lis, each set with rose cut diamonds in silver settings. The main colour of the milky agate is a creamy-brown hue with a darker brown band on one side. The diamonds are rose cut, the triangular facets of these cuts were very popular during the Georgian and Victorian periods as they glistened more beautifully in candlelight than any other cut. This elegant ring sits flat on the finger, the stones are secure in their settings and the ring is in superb condition despite its significant age, a truly rare find!

14K Gold Victorian Rose Cut Diamond Drop Necklace with Bow
Located in Venice, CA
At the focal point of this elegant Victorian-era drop necklace are three antique diamonds suspended from a bow and navette shaped bar. The diamonds are Dutch rose cut, with layers of facets cut by hand, making each diamond one-of-a-kind with its own unique way of reflecting light. The largest, bottom diamond appears round, and the diamonds descend in size, with the middle and top diamond taking a more oval shape. The necklace has a 14k gold back and a silver front—a traditional way of mounting jewelry in the Victorian era. The beautiful diamonds rest in a silver backing, so the stones catch the light and reflect it brilliantly. The diamonds are topped by a bow, which contains seven smaller rose-cut diamonds, surrounded by millegrain details that add subtle texture. A transitional bar connects the bow to the teardrop section, and features an eighth diamond set in a navette shaped mount. The bow, navette, and diamond trio are articulated, so there is lots of movement while worn, adding to piece’s elegance. The necklace is circa 1890’s. Kirsten’s Corner has added an antique platinum chain...
