Description: Beautiful Edwardian diamond
brooch accented with calibre cut rubies. The center
diamond drop is articulated, as is the cascading diamond wreath.
The workmanship and detail on this piece is exceptional.
This brooch is quite substantial yet it is feminine and delicate
in style. The setting is 18kt. yellow gold with a platinum
top
(to accent the whiteness of the diamonds) and is French in
origin.
Total diamond weight is 1.75 carats; brilliant cut diamonds with G/H color
and VS2 clarity. The rubies are most likely man made, as
was common during this period. To see other images of this item, please click here:
