I am selling an assortment of vintage to antique jewelry and rings which I have hunted for and gathered from around the world. Some examples seen in the last photo - thanks for stopping by!
ABOUT:
How pretty is this as an extender / connector?! The gorgeous pastel colors and the amazing condition of the old cut gemnies in nice sizes! This would also be beautiful converted to a bar pendant or a show stopping hair pin / veil holder. I didn't convert it in case someone would prefer to wear it as a pin, and if converted, I wanted to leave it to the buyer to work with their jeweler as to how, since it could have a loop added at the top to hang from a chain, or have two loops added to be worn east to west, or built into a bracelet chain, etc.
A gorgeous amethyst and citrine line brooch with old cut stones in varying sizes. Gorgeous coloring and I love brooches for how they always exhibit little to know wear which is amazing to find on Victorian pieces of this age! Compared to rings of this age which would display much more evidence of age.
These are often incorporated into neck stacks as extenders or glittery connectors as seen in photos where I used one of my chains with dog clips to hook to each end. (Chain and other items are not included, listing is for pin alone).
No hallmarks remain but tests at 14k, and clearly solid gold (not plated or gold fill).
Antique boxes, chains, props, mice ; ) in photos is not included. Please note the measurements as I have small hands and it can be difficult to decipher scale from photos.
SIZE & MEASUREMENTS:
It measures 40mm end to end and 4.5mm deep from the bottom of the setting to the crown of the center amethyst not including the pin post. It weighs 4.6g.
The stones are 9mm, 6.7mm and 5.7mm.
IMPORTANT CONDITION NOTES:
Better than most condition. There is one deeper linear scratch smaller than 2mm in length to the center stone and a longer but more faint scratch on one of th other amethyst but this is studying it under magnification only. To the eye, it has a wonderful sheen and polish to all of the gems which are in excellent condition for age of over 125 years.
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 : )
SOCIAL:
Please feel free watch @mouseshouseantiques on Instagram for inventory drops, sneak peaks and previews! And check out my website www.MousesHouseAntiques.com as I can add more pics there so you can get extra looks : )
All items hand picked by me, one at a time from all over the world. All listings individually written by me, and not AI, after studying each piece to discuss its beauties and its ; ) eccentricities (which I am picky to point out).
Many of my listings include group shots – I find the comparisons between pieces help show scale, diamond hues, etc. All items in group shots are inventory, but refer to the website to see what items have sold out and to watch for new listings from the grouping to appear on the home page.
