A late 19th century silver and 18ct gold diamond and ruby novelty donkey brooch. The rose-cut...

Overall condition fair to good. Some surface wear in keeping with age and general wear. Some possible replacement stones, one with minimal glue visible. Due to the nature of the rose-cut diamond and diamond point it has not been possible to calculate an accurate total diamond weight. Diamonds differ slightly in appearance. Individual size prevents accurate colour/clarity assessment. Scattered to large inclusions, many visible to the unaided eye. Diamonds in fair condition with significant nicks and chips. Ruby pinkish-red. Fairly good clarity with typical inclusions, fair condition with a chip. Please see Important Notices for Purchasers in our catalogue or on our website for coloured gemstones.
