ABOUT:
Timeless antique diamond pendant on chain with a .85 carat prong set old old mine cut diamond. All crafted in 18k white gold. Nice, bright and fiery antique diamond in a timeless and classic buttercup pronged setting. The scalloped halo around the base of the setting serves as an illusion setting to make the diamond appear even larger (by surrounding the white stone with a white metal), while also giving it a lovely design element.
A great geometric look - perfect to dress up or down. French antique piece from the Art Deco period!
Found in Paris - French hallmarks for 18k gold on the clasp.
Antique box / props not included. Please note the measurements as I have small fingers and it can be difficult to determine scale from pictures.
MEASUREMENTS:
The diamond is about 5.7mm, totaling around 0.85carat. I do not remove stones from the settings for exact measurements so this is an estimate.
The pendant is 16mm to the top of the dangling bale by 8.5mm wide. It is 4.7mm deep. The pendant and the chain together weigh 3.7 grams.
Chain is 15 3/4" in length.
IMPORTANT CONDITION NOTES:
Very nice sparkle and fire to the diamond that is mostly eye clean but for one indented natural inclusion at about 2 o'clock, right up next to the prong which carries up to the surface just slightly. It is warm in color from carbon and is eye visible when you seek it out, but thankfully right up against the edge of the stone and next to a prong, it is not glaring and almost appears like a small shadow. The rest of the stone is completely clean. It is brighter white in color than many of the antique diamonds that we see, cut from mines that typically produced warmer stones.
No damage. The prongs are excellent. Ready for regular wear.
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 : )
