Antique Floral Haley's Comet Rose Cut Diamond Brooch Extender Connector Pin 18k Gold Silver Solid Victorian Hair Pin

I take regularly scheduled inventory trips to Europe to offer you a selection of carefully curated antiques. These have all been hand picked one at a time and most are one of a kind.

ABOUT:

This one would make an awesome extender / connector or pendant with the wonderful design and movement. To me it resembles the Haley's Comet pieces with the larger round element and the swirling details that extend from it but it also has a sort of floral spray / leaf design as well. Just beautiful movement and detail - I could see this worn as a hair pin as well. It would be an awesome something old for a bride. Sturdy piece in a nice size, it could also be easily converted to a pendant with loops added to each side of the back to be worn east west.

I purchased this one in Amsterdam when I was zipping through there jewelry hunting on a long layover. It has their hallmarks on the back. The back is 14k gold with a silver top and the pin back is stamped 585, the numerical hallmark used in Europe for 14k gold.

Please note the measurements as I have small fingers and it can be difficult to determine scale from pictures. Some of my buyers "draw out" an example to get an idea of scale in person.

Antique Boxes, props, hooks, chains, mice : ) not included. I just used some staging chains to show examples of how to wear.

SIZE & MEASUREMENTS:

Weight is a sturdy 7.6g. 45x17mm. The largest diamond is about 4mm, the others are about 2mm, just measuring the exposed portions, their exact sizes are unknown in the collet settings.

IMPORTANT CONDITION NOTES:

Perfect antique patina. The diamonds have some frosty and speck inclusions. They display a warm to gray color from age to the foil backed setting giving the background stones a wonderful, moody sparkle. Pin back works well with a trombone clasp.

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. : ) There are no dark spots to the gold, it was just difficult to photograph because it is so shiny and mirrored that it reflects its surroundings including the green trees out the window.
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 : )

Thanks so much for looking at my items!
