Lucky CLOVER Antique Figural Pendant 1 Carat Rose Chunky Old Mine Cut DIAMOND 14k Gold Figural Good Luck Charm 1Ctw

ABOUT:

These old mine cuts have an amazing, better than most flash in terms of fire. So chunky and full of life in such a fun form!

Antique late 1800s to early 1900s pendant set with three old mine cuts and a little rose cut accent. Totaling over one carat in antique diamonds with the largest fiery and very chunky top stone measuring .6 carat alone. This was originally a bar pin / brooch that I had listed for a long while, but it wouldn't sell so I converted it. I am typically averse to altering antiques but in the case of brooches, I have to make an exception because they are so rarely worn these days and tend to sit in the shop. Hoping that now it is ready for daily wear, it will be more popular. : )

Found in France, it was hallmarked on the pin parts. Sold to me as 14k and tested to confirm. The gold has a rosy hue.
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, chains, bannisters, mice : ) not included.

MEASUREMENTS:

The three leaf clover is 12mmx9mm and 4mm deep. It weighs 1.1g.

The largest diamond is 5.5 by 4.5mm and the two smaller old mine cuts are 3.5mm each. The rose cut on is almost 3mm. I would never remove them for exact measurements but estimating at around one full carat total weight in diamonds.

IMPORTANT CONDITION NOTES:
Typical antique diamonds with faint natural inclusions, the largest diamond is eye clean. The other two old mines have slightly to very slightly eye visible inclusions. They also possess a very slight warmth, also typical for age, but with exceptional fire for old cut diamonds that were in much more limited supply compared to the millions of machine cut diamonds created each year. These really emote light. The rose cut reads gray as it is in closed back foiled setting.

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 : )

Striking to wear with the figural shape.

I would be delighted if you'd follow me in my shop. Thanks for stopping by!
