An
exquisitely hand crafted luxurious platinum diamond and earth mined
sapphire pin dating to 1910. This beautiful Edwardian brooch sparkles
from every angle as the old mine cut diamonds catch the light. The
calibre set sapphires cut just to fit the hand made setting are a
striking contrast to the fine white diamonds in this antique pin. The
total weight of all the old cut diamonds is 1.44 carats and the
sapphires together weigh 0.14 carats. This makes the weight of all the
natural untreated earth mined gems which are set in this pretty brooch
1.58 carats. It is in mint condition and has an original hand made
safety clasp on the reverse. This amazingly pretty piece measures 1 3/4" long by 7/8" wide (45mm x 22mm). This
is a rare original item to find on the market today. At the current
time most of these style pieces are reproduction and are cast. Worse,
many are made with CAD manufacturing techniques and the stones are cast
in place. This brooch is an original hand made antique which would be
hard to replace with a similar item today as these pieces are highly
sought after and in fact, despite the deceptive amount of reproduction
on the market, extremely rare. I love this piece because of how absolutely feminine it is. An
appraisal shall accompany this item. This appraisal has been made by a
professional Gemologist and accredited Jewelry Appraiser who is a
specialist in the field.
