A gorgeous Victorian diamond jewel featuring a substantial natural rose-cut diamond centerpiece, measuring approximately 10 to 10.3mm × 3.1 mm (estimated as mounting permits) The center diamond displays an estimated L–M color and SI clarity, with an edge chip reflected in the clarity assessment. Remarkably, the original foil backing remains intact.
Surrounding the center are three Peruzzi-cut diamonds and one old European-cut diamond, measuring approximately 4 mm each, complemented by two additional old European cuts and four rose-cut diamond accents. The surrounding diamonds are estimated at I–J color and VS–SI2 clarity.
The shank tests as 14K gold with a silver top and higher karat gold under the silver top, showcasing the mixed-metal craftsmanship characteristic of Victorian diamond jewelry.
The shank may have been rebuilt at some point in its history, although this has not been confirmed.
