Lot Description

An Art Nouveau 18ct gold and silver diamond and cultured pearl brooch. The old-cut diamond floral sprig, within a rose-cut diamond scrolling surround, suspending a cultured pearl and diamond point drop. Estimated total old-cut diamond weight 0.20ct. French assay marks. Length 4.5cms. Weight 11.1gms. With associated case.

Postage: Auction Default

Weight: No

Total lot weight: No

Overall condition fair to good. Light surface scratches in keeping with age. Evidence of minor alterations/repairs. Replacement brooch fitting and pin, pin slightly bent, fittings/pin differ slightly in hue to the rest of the brooch. The principal diamond is bright and lively with minor surface abrasion. Due to the nature of the rose-cut it is not possible to calculate a total rose-cut diamond weight. Estimated total rose-cut diamond spread weight 0.75ct, which is no indication of the actual diamond weight. Individual size/setting prevents accurate colour and clarity grade assessment. The cultured pearl drop shows a creamish body colour with pinkish green overtones. Fairly good skin with some surface blemishes. Fairly good lustre.
