Description from the seller
Antique stud brooch with ruby and rose-cut diamonds
Period: Late Victorian to early Edwardian, approx. 1890–1910
Fine antique stud brooch made of 18-karat rose gold (750), crafted at the turn of the 19th to the 20th century.
Execution
The brooch is worked in a classic stud form and measures approx. 55 mm in length.
Total weight: 3.1 grams.
In the center is a round cluster setting with:
• 1 round faceted ruby, approx. 0.30 ct
• 10 rose-cut diamonds, total approx. 0.30 ct
The ruby shows a vivid, deep red with natural internal structure. The diamonds are executed in the typical historic rose cut with a flat underside and curved top, producing the soft, silver-gray sparkle characteristic of the era.
Setting & workmanship
• Prong setting
• Closed understructure in the cluster area
• Handcrafted gold work
• Classic C-clasp, typical for the period before 1910
The warm tone of the rose gold and the handcrafted finish point to continental European manufacture around 1900.
Stylistic classification
Cluster brooches with a central colored stone and diamond-rose-cut surround are characteristic of:
• Late Victorian jewelry art (c. 1880–1900)
• Transition to the Edwardian era (up to c. 1910)
The combination of ruby and rose-cut diamonds was especially popular in high-end jewelry production of that time.
Condition
Very good for age.
Normal, age-appropriate signs of wear.
Settings stable, stones firmly in place.
