Antique .6 Carat Old Mine Cut Diamond Marquise CLASP Pendant Platinum 18k Gold Edwardian Parts Findings OMC

ABOUT:

Sparkly larger sized clasp pendant set with seven old mine cut diamonds. This one has a marquise shape and milgrain details accenting the geometric pattern.

These old ornate clasps are hard to come by as this is a salvaged antique one and not a modern reproduction. These make excellent pendants, where you can attached a chain to each side, wear it to the front, side or back, or hang it from one end on a chain so it dangles down. Ornate and sparkly.

Functions perfectly with sturdy fabrication, the clasp has great tension with the tongue insert securing with a snap and then there is a safety catch in yellow gold to the side - so it would work with any color of neckmess : )

There are some stamps but I can't decipher them. Sold to me as 18k and platinum and I tested it with a kee tester as well.

Please note the measurements as I have small hands and it can be difficult to decipher scale from photos, especially with the zoomed images that I am required to present for detail.

MEASUREMENTS:
20mm end to end by 7.3mm wide and 4.2mm deep. It weighs 2.4 grams. The largest diamond is 3.8mm, about a quarter carat? The two next in size, one on each end are 3.2mm each and the four smaller stones are 2mm each. Depth and exact weight is unknown as I would not remove the stones but estimates to around .6 carat.

IMPORTANT CONDITION NOTES:

Note the small loops, they are teeny tiny on each end so a very small gauge jump ring or dainty link chain would need to be used to incorporate it.

Some faint natural inclusions typical for stones form the period, seen mostly under magnification or if you are really seeking them out. No damage or chips, etc.

Please note that all my pieces are pre-owned and in estate condition. They will have patina, surface wear, a few small nicks. These pieces may also have evidence of a sizing, some build up around the stones and / or inclusions seen under magnification, typical for antique pieces. I have mentioned any noticeable issues above and they are all still wearable and eager to be loved and accepted for many years to come, (the preservation of antique jewelry, even those with signs of their age and history, is important to me. : )
But - Please note due to age, this piece is not in mint condition. Pictures also serve as part of the description and condition report so please utilize the zoom feature which will magnify any wear significantly more than what is visible to the eye while wearing : )
