Lot Description

A late Victorian 15ct gold diamond split pearl and enamel pendant, circa 1880. The split pearl and rose-cut diamond star, within a blue enamel dome, to the split pearl scalloped edge border and surmount. Length 3.3cms. Weight 6.3gms.


Postage: Auction Default

Weight: No

Total lot weight: No

Overall condition good to fair. Surface scratches and discolouration in keeping with general wear and age. The surmount is split and worn at the top. Cut and setting of rose-cut diamonds prevents total carat weight estimation. The diamonds are fairly bright, and fairly well matched. The colour ranges from  white to slightly tinted yellow. Small alight and dark inclusions can be seen easily under magnification. Individual size and setting prevents accurate colour and clarity assessment. The enamel is in fair condition with some scuffs and abrasion all over, with some chips to the edge. The split pearls are well matched with a creamy-white colour and muted lustre, some show abrasion and peeling under magnification. Split pearls untested for natural origin. Stamped 15ct. Please see the Important Notices for Purchasers in our catalogue or on our website for coloured gemstones.
