About the Item

A Victorian sapphire and diamond cluster necklace and pendant, the necklace consisting of thirty-two clusters graduating in size from the centre, each set with a round faceted sapphire surrounded by old-cut diamonds, the sapphires estimated to weigh 17 carats in total, the diamonds estimated to weigh 9 carats in total, the central link suspending a detachable sapphire and diamond pendant, the sapphire of the pendant estimated to weigh 1.5 carats and the diamonds a further total of 4 carats, accompanied by GCS report stating the sapphires to be of Basaltic origin, with no indications of heating, the diamonds assessed as G-I colour and VS-SI clarity, all set in silver to yellow gold mount, with detachable brooch fitting for the pendant and original fitted case, circa 1870, the necklace measuring approximately 35 x 3cm, gross weight 44.4 grams. This antique necklace is in excellent condition, slight abrasion to sapphires consistent with age and use. Unmarked tested as 18ct gold and silver to the necklace, and 14ct gold and silver to the brooch/pendant. This important Victorian necklace 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. Made in around 1870, this necklace reflects the splendour of the mid-Victorian period. This necklace features thirty-two graduating sapphire and diamond clusters. The sapphires are a wonderful deep blue colour and the diamonds scintillate and sparkle beautifully. This necklace also features a central drop pendant with an impressive sapphire surrounded by an estimated 4 carats of romantic old-cut diamonds. This is an alluring and romantic piece. Should you choose to make this purchase we would be delighted to send it to you 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. Please note: because of the high value of this item, an export licence will be required to ship this item outside of the United Kingdom. This process will add an extra 2-4 weeks onto the shipment time. Thank you for your understanding.
