Brosche - 18 kt Weißgold - 0.18ct. tw. Diamant (Mit verbesserter Reinheit (Clarity Enhanced)) - Horton, Angell Co. c.1920

This exquisite vintage bar brooch (also known as a bar pin) exemplifies the refined elegance of late Victorian to Edwardian American jewelry craftsmanship, circa 1900–1920. Crafted in 18K white gold (as indicated by the premium quality, hallmarks, and construction), it features intricate filigree openwork with geometric panels, stylized motifs (including arrow-like and abstract designs), and delicate millegraining throughout. The design is segmented into rectangular and circular reserves, each finely pierced and embellished with borders of tiny gold beads for added texture and depth. The brooch is set with three old European-cut or mine-cut diamonds (total estimated weight approximately 0.18 ct based on visible size and typical settings of the era), each securely mounted in raised collets within circular frames. These stones exhibit the characteristic sparkle and subtle body color of early 20th-century diamonds, contributing subtle fire and brilliance to the piece. The overall length measures 47 mm, with a slender, tapered form that curves gently for comfortable wear on clothing, lapels, or as a scarf pin alternative. The reverse reveals masterful engineering typical of high-end American production: a sturdy C-clasp mechanism with a locking pin stem, gold hinge, and tube catch for security. Hallmarks are clearly struck on the inner frame near the clasp, including "18K" (confirming the gold purity), alongside the maker's marks "HA" and "CO" (for Horton, Angell & Co. of Attleboro, Massachusetts). This renowned firm, established in 1870, was a leading Attleboro manufacturer specializing in fine gold jewelry, including 18K pieces, during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Attleboro was a major hub for American jewelry production, and Horton, Angell & Co. was known for quality gold items (often marked "HA & Co." or variants) sold through upscale retailers, with a focus on durable, elegantly detailed accessories like stick pins, cuff links, and brooches. Weighing approximately 3.5 grams, the brooch demonstrates excellent condition for its age: the filigree remains crisp with no significant loss, the diamonds are bright and securely set (no visible chips or damage in photos), and the pin mechanism functions smoothly with original tension. Minor surface wear and patina are consistent with over a century of careful use, enhancing its authentic antique character. This piece is ideal for collectors of period American jewelry, Edwardian filigree, or diamond bar brooches. Its combination of 18K white gold, old-cut diamonds, intricate hand-pierced detailing, and documented provenance from a respected Attleboro maker positions it as a desirable lot for premium auction. Comparable examples from the era often realize strong prices in the mid-to-high hundreds to low thousands USD, depending on diamond quality and overall preservation.
