This is a stunning, fine and impressive antique Victorian 6.24 ct diamond and 10 carat yellow gold, silver set brooch/pendant; part of our diverse antique jewellery and estate jewelry. This stunning, fine and impressive Victorian diamond brooch has been crafted in 10 ct yellow gold with a silver setting. The pierced decorated setting displays a central feature 0.80 ct claw set Old European cut diamond, encircled by ten claw set Old European cut diamonds, forming a central cluster design. This cluster is framed by six further feature Old European cut diamonds, ranging from 0.42ct to 0.57ct, each encompassed with conjoined clusters of nine Old European cut diamonds; these six cluster designs replicate the ratio and style of the central arrangement.
