Victorian Natural Untreated Ruby & Diamond Brooch Pendant with Gem Report

A magnificent Victorian ruby and diamond brooch pendant, dating to the Victorian period and accompanied by a gemmological report confirming natural, untreated rubies, and natural diamonds. This beautifully crafted piece is designed as an elaborate radiating cluster, centred with a vivid ruby and surrounded by concentric layers of shimmering old cut diamonds. The design has a wonderful sense of movement and light, typical of the finest late Victorian jewellery. The stones are set in silver to the front, enhancing the brilliance of the diamonds, with a gold reverse in the traditional manner of the period. The rubies display a rich purplish-red hue and, notably, the report confirms no evidence of treatment—an increasingly desirable quality. Both elegant and versatile, the piece may be worn as either a brooch or a pendant. The brooch fitting is removable, allowing the piece to hang beautifully when worn as a pendant, and it is complete with a safety chain. A truly eye-catching and collectible Victorian jewel, equally suited to wear or as part of a fine antique jewellery collection.
