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 bar pin / brooch set with three old mine cuts and three little rose cut accents. Totaling over one carat in antique diamonds with the largest fiery and very chunky top stone measuring .6 carat alone, this would be a fabulous pendant conversion. Note that as a pendant as it is now, it doesn't sit flat on the decollette very well right now. I got it to hold for a pic but when wearing it can teeter some due to the pin back. This could easily be nipped off in moments by your local jeweler and a loop added to the top or at each end, but I decided to sell it as is in case someone liked it as a brooch or connector.

Found in France, but the hallmark is unfamiliar to me. Looks like an animal head with some letters and numbers but I couldn't find a match in my resources. 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:

32mm end to end, the three leaf clover is 12mmx9mm and 4mm deep not including the pin back. It weighs 2.7g.

The largest diamond is 5.5 by 4.5mm and the two smaller old mine cuts are 3.5mm each. The rose cuts on the ends are 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 cuts read gray as they are in closed back foiled settings. Tiniest bend to the pin tip but sturdy hinge and latch.

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!
