There is something highly charming and festive about this antique Victorian18k yellow gold (with a lovely warm patina), natural ruby corundum [visual identification only], and natural freshwater pearl brooch, of hand-made construction, circa late 19th century. The main body of the brooch measures 2” x 15/16” and comprises an open brick-patterned curved rectangle with rounded corners (can't resist nicknaming it "the dog bone brooch" as it's perfect for a Westminster Champs' owner's lucky token :-). It is beaded around the edge, the center set with a bow and festoon, from which is suspended one bezel-set round mixed cut ruby, and from the base of which are suspended a second bezel-set round mixed cut ruby, two pearls, and two chains, one with a pearl drop, on a straight pin back with hook catch (stamped with tiny, unknown hallmark). The two rubies are eye clean, measure approximately 2.35 to 3.00 mm in diameter, and weigh approximately 0.13 and 0.06 carat respectively. The three pearls measure from 1.90 to 3.97 x 2.93 mm. Total weight: 6.4 grams. I will be more than happy to email this piece's current retail replacement appraisal upon completion of sale, just ask! Questions are welcomed on Pin 2759.

Appraisals
Jewelry Finds' pieces are independently appraised by highly-experienced, professional GIA-trained Gemologists. They are appraised as accurately as possible in the mountings so as not to affect the integrity of the pieces. The appraisals are for our use only but the pertinent facts are in our listings. We are no longer sending insurance appraisals after the sale due to some insurance companies demanding they come straight from the appraiser/not the seller.
Jewelry Era is approximate unless we have purchased from an original owner, or it has been established from our research. Time period is determined by jewelry design, construction, hallmarks (if any) and materials used - part of the intriguing mystery of antique and estate jewelry.
