Description

A magnificent Victorian ruby and diamond brooch pendant, dating to the Victorian period and accompanied by a gemmological report confirming natural, untreated rubies, and natural diamonds.

This beautifully crafted piece is designed as an elaborate radiating cluster, centred with a vivid ruby and surrounded by concentric layers of shimmering old cut diamonds. The design has a wonderful sense of movement and light, typical of the finest late Victorian jewellery.

The stones are set in silver to the front, enhancing the brilliance of the diamonds, with a gold reverse in the traditional manner of the period. The rubies display a rich purplish-red hue and, notably, the report confirms no evidence of treatment—an increasingly desirable quality.

Both elegant and versatile, the piece may be worn as either a brooch or a pendant. The brooch fitting is removable, allowing the piece to hang beautifully when worn as a pendant, and it is complete with a safety chain.

A truly eye-catching and collectible Victorian jewel, equally suited to wear or as part of a fine antique jewellery collection.

This Victorian brooch and pendant dates to 1880 and takes a circular starburst shape formed from an openwork filigree design. It contains natural rubies displaying a rich purplish-red hue set alongside natural old cut diamonds, secured in claw settings. The stones are mounted in a silver front with a gold reverse, complete with a removable brooch fitting, a safety chain, and a pin. The piece measures 3.5cm in diameter. Wearers attach the item to garments as a brooch or suspend it from a chain as a pendant for evening attire and formal occasions. The central ruby sits inside concentric layers of diamonds and outer rubies, complemented by dangling diamond-set points radiating outwards from the perimeter.

Victorian brooches from the mid-to-late 19th century feature intricate openwork metalwork, starburst or circular motifs, and combinations of natural gemstones set in precious metals.

Craftsmen commonly set rubies and diamonds into yellow gold, frequently pairing them with silver settings to enhance stone brilliance using hand-cut techniques and claw fastenings.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-cut gemstones such as old-cut diamonds, hand-engraved details, period-correct fittings like long C-clasps or removable bail loops, and natural metal oxidisation.

Dual-purpose pieces can be worn pinned to the lapel of a jacket, fastened to a silk scarf, or suspended from a fine gold chain as a central neckpiece.

Clean gently with a soft-bristled brush using warm water and mild soap, avoiding chemical cleansers or ultrasonic baths that could disrupt claw settings or natural gemstone inclusions.
