Fine Victorian Diamond Scroll Brooch

About the Item

A fine Victorian diamond scroll brooch strung here as a centrepiece on a cultured pearl choker necklace, centrally-set set with a row of graduating old European-cut diamonds and two old pear-shape-cut diamonds set vertically, all within an openwork panel of scroll design, set with approximately 14 carats of old-cut diamonds, all set in silver to yellow gold back, circa 1880, accompanied by detachable brooch fittings and five rows of cultured saltwater pearls each measuring approximately 5mm in diameter, the necklace measuring approximately 34.5 x 3.8cm, gross weight 74.9 grams, the diamond brooch centrepiece measuring approximately 5.4 x 3.8cm. Victorian brooch/clasp in excellent condition, with later fittings applied. Unmarked tested as 18ct and 14ct gold and silver. This stunning brooch comes from the collection of Bentley & Skinner, the London jewellers by appointment to both Her Majesty the Queen and His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales. Featuring an impressive combined, weight of 14 carats of diamonds, this marvellous piece is incredibly eye-catching and sparkling. Created in the late Victorian era, this brooch is currently mounted as a stunning centrepiece on a five-row cultured pearl choker. The centrepiece can be detached from the pearls and worn as a brooch or as a pendant on another necklace or a velvet ribbon. A truly magnificent piece. Should you choose to make this purchase we would be delighted to send it to you in a Bentley & Skinner handmade leather case packed in a gift-wrapped Bentley & Skinner black and gold presentation box. Shortly afterwards we will send you on a valuation for insurance purposes for your reference and safekeeping.
