AN EDWARDIAN DIAMOND AND PEARL BROOCH PENDANT

EDWARDIAN DIAMOND AND PEARL BROOCH PENDANT,
openwork and with a central white split pearl 4.5mm diameter, set all over with old round brilliant cut and modern round brilliant cut diamonds and with a larger single modern round brilliant cut diamond of approximately 0.78 carats suspended, the diamonds overall totalling very approximately 1.10 carats, 35mm long, unmarked, 5.9g

 

Bidders must assume that diamonds and coloured gem stones (including ruby, emerald, sapphire, peridot, aquamarine) may have undergone a form of treatment unless otherwise stated. It should not be assumed that any diamond or coloured gem is untreated or is natural, unless accompanied by a gemmological laboratory certificate (which would be mentioned in the description). McTear’s will only describe gold/platinum/silver as such when a full UK standard set of hallmarks is present on the object. Other marks such as foreign import stamps will be noted in the description. As required by the Auctioneers Scheme, 20% vat will be applied to the hammer price on the sale of loose stones, which applies to diamonds, emeralds, rubies and sapphires and those lots are marked with **.  

 

Sold for £1,600
Estimated at £1,500 - £2,000
