Details
Beautifully preserved from the mid 19th Century, this gorgeous antique French diamond flower brooch is fashioned in silver and 18ct yellow gold and decorated with a striking collection of natural rose cut diamonds and three larger old mine cuts. They all glitter with dazzling beauty and have a combined weight of 2.5 carats.
During the 18th and 19th Century, old rose and mine cut diamonds were considered the highest quality with skilfully hand-cut facets that were said to gently dance by candlelight. They may be less flashy by modern standards, but their rugged aesthetic and distinctive fire are unlike any machine-cut stones made today and evoke the romance and skilled craftsmanship of a bygone era.
Perfect for adding some sparkle to your lapel, scarf or bag, this collectable French diamond flower brooch is a wonderful antique treasure and has remained in excellent condition. It’s complete with French silver hallmarks down the stem and fitted with a pin and new safety catch for extra piece of mind when worn.
We recommend you insure for £2,550. We can provide a written Valuation on completion of the sale.
