Late Victorian Old Cut Diamond Bird Brooch

A beautiful Late Victorian diamond bird brooch set in silver on gold.

The brooch depicts a sweet flying bird set throughout with a mixture of rose cut and old cut diamonds. The piece has been cleverly crafted and designed so that each diamond is encased it its own setting. Not only does this secure each diamond but also highlights the naturalistic features of the bird’s feathers. The bird is also accented with a petite ruby eye. It is secured to reverse with a pin and clasp fitting.

Due to the size and design this brooch would be a perfect addition to a jumper and/or coat. Considering its age, it is in fantastic condition with all its original rose cut diamonds. Over time the brooch has aged, and the natural patina is showing through making it a recognisable Victorian era piece.

There is an estimated total diamond weight of 1.30 carats. It measures exactly 2.2 x 5.2 centimetres and has a gross weight of 8.6 grams. Typical of the ear the brooch is not hallmarked but has been tested. Everything regarding the brooch will be outlined in a complimentary valuation for insurance and authenticity.
