Antique 1.45ct Sapphire, 6.16ct Diamond and Natural Pearl, 9ct Yellow Gold Crown Brooch Circa 1880

19th century
For Sale by AC Silver
Description

A magnificent, stunning, fine and impressive 1.45 carat sapphire, 6.16 carat diamond and natural pearl, 9 carat yellow gold and silver set crown brooch; part of our diverse array of Victorian brooches.

This magnificent, fine and impressive antique Victorian brooch has been crafted in 9ct yellow gold with a silver setting.

The brooch has been modelled in the form of a crown/coronet.

The pierced decorated band of the crown is embellished with alternating Old European cut diamonds and round faceted cut sapphires, each pavé set within lozenge shaped settings.

This impressive band is surmounted with a curvilinear arrangement of fleur-delist, incorporating thirty pavé set diamonds and five natural yellow diamonds, in addition to a single claw set diamond to each incurve.

The upper portion of this magnificent antique brooch incorporates protruding pales displaying six individually claw set natural brown diamonds, alternating with stunning natural pearls.

The lower border of the crown bears a curvilinear border of thirteen Old European cut diamonds, completing the design.

This antique crown brooch with gemstones secures to the reverse with a hinged pin and clasp fastening.

This antique sapphire brooch has been independently tested using state of the art technology (Niton XL2 Analyzer) and verified as 9ct yellow gold and silver.

The brooch is supplied with an IDGL diamond and gemstone grading report card.

Such magnificent brooches finely crafted with a stunning array of gemstones are becoming increasingly difficult to locate; this brooch is the finest of its type you could hope to acquire.

Images do not always reflect the true colour and brilliance of gemstones and diamonds. The video however provides a truer representation of the actual colour and showcases each stone.

Condition

This magnificent Victorian brooch is excellent quality, set with stunning sapphires displaying fine colour, brilliance and presence, in addition to natural pearls bearing fine colour, lustre and presence.

The impressive array of coloured diamonds display stunning colour, brilliance and presence.

The brooch is an excellent gauge of gold and silver, and is in excellent condition.

Reflections in photographs may detract from the true representation of this fine example of sapphire jewellery/estate jewelry.

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.
Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.
Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

Crown motifs in Victorian jewellery often symbolised royal affection, loyalty, and patriotism, gaining widespread popularity during the mid-to-late nineteenth century.

Late Victorian brooches frequently incorporated 9ct or 15ct yellow gold, silver-topped settings for diamonds, natural pearls, and vibrant gemstones such as sapphires and rubies.

Authentic Victorian brooches typically feature hand-cut diamonds, c-clasps or long pin mechanisms, and silver mounts over gold to enhance stone brilliance prior to the widespread use of white gold.

An antique brooch can be styled on a blazer lapel, attached to a silk scarf, fastened at the centre of a buttoned shirt collar, or pinned to an evening clutch bag.

Preserve antique jewellery by storing it separately in a lined box, avoiding contact with hairspray or perfumes, and wiping gently with a dry, lint-free cloth without immersing organic pearls in liquid.
