A Victorian Diamond Brooch, an old cut diamond within a yellow star setting, to a ropetwist and bead border, estimated diamond weight 0.20 carat approximately, measures 3.4cm diameter; and Two Smaller Victorian Diamond Brooches, of similar design, total estimated diamond weight 0.10 carat approximately, measure 1.9cm diameter see illustration

Sold for £450
Estimated at £250 - £350


 

. All pieces are in fair condition with dings throughout. The larger brooch appears to be lacking a locket compartment to the reverse. The two smaller brooches are likely to have been adapted. The larger and one of the smaller brooches fasten with a pin and hook catch, the other smaller one with a pin and revolver catch. They bear no hallmark nor stamp but in our opinion would test as gold. The approximate qualities of the diamonds are; colour I/J/K, clarity I1/I2/I3. Gross weight 18.0 grams. CR made 27.07.20.
