Austere Luxury Five Old Mine Cut Diamond Brooch

This Victorian fur clip is the very picture of austere luxury. Five gorgeous old mine-cut diamonds are six-prong-set across a slender 14k white gold bar. Very unusual to see white gold in usage during this period. The fabulous antique stones have a .75tcw, with the depth, faceting pattern, and wide open culets that make these old cuts so special. The center diamond is significantly larger than the flanking accent stones. A fur clip is a brooch that fastens with two long, hinged prongs; the long, sturdy prongs are intended for wear on heavy wintertime fabrics. A rollover clasp secures the longer prong. Sometimes, simplicity is the answer. Circa 1860.

Details.....This brooch measures 1.97" by .25". In Very Good Antique Condition. You should always expect some wear on Vintage and Antique jewels. We consider it a part of their charm.
