SCOTTISH VICTORIAN GOLD HARDSTONE BROOCH,
42mm diameter, the central cross section with overlaid gem set crown set with two round red gems and a split seed pearl, with four hardstone sections set to the border interspaced by engraved gold sections, marked 15ct, 13.5g

 

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 £220
Estimated at £50 - £100
