Description
4.9*4.5cm Wt:14.6g
Early-Victorian (circa 1840-1860) romantic-period diamond spray brooch, executed in silver-upon-gold mounting: silver for diamond-setting surfaces to enhance brilliance, gold forming the back-structure for structural stability. Multiple old-cut diamonds form spreading floral sprigs and blossoms, with a 1-carat main diamond and a total diamond weight of 6 carats. A natural pearl, measuring 7-mm in diameter and 8-mm in height, is suspended via an articulated link below the bouquet, swinging freely when worn. Floral-spray motifs are iconic of Early-Victorian romantic-era jewellery, designed to evoke the natural grace of flowers, with diamonds shimmering under candlelight. Diamonds are firmly set; all floral elements complete, pearl-pendant articulates smoothly, overall in good preserved condition.
