Wild Pearl and Old-Cut Diamond Brooch. <br><br>2.5*3cm Wt:9.27g<br><br>European antique jewellery dating to the Victorian era, crafted in 18-carat gold. Centred by an oval-cut pink topaz set in period-typical open-back mounting, the base of the stone remains visible. Encircled by radiating star-set old-cut diamonds. The outer border is set with multiple natural wild pearls displaying rich, varied overtones of champagne and silvery-grey. Executed in the quintessential Victorian star-cluster design with elaborate fine workmanship. Made purely as a brooch, a fine representative example of 19-century gem-set jewellery.<br><br><br>ALL PROPERTY IS SOLD AS IS, WHERE IS, WITH NO RETURNS OR CANCELLATIONS.<br><br> Additional photographs and condition reports may be provided upon request as a courtesy only.
