Spectacular Mid-Victorian Diamond Star Pendant, and Brooch, set in 18
carat White Gold, c. 1850.
This is a Top Quality Pendant which converts to a Brooch. It is

Diamonds. The ‘flower’ cluster in the centre contains Seven Quality Large
Old-Cut Diamonds. The centre Diamond is ½ carat with smaller ones
around it. The total here is approx. 1 ¾ carats of rare Diamonds. These are raised slightly, and there are many more Sparkling
Diamonds set into the radiating arms of the Star. The longer arms have
five Diamonds, the shorter arms three, with the remainder having four.
These are a mixture of Old European Cuts and Rose-Cuts, and total
approx. 1.30 carats. This brings the total carat weight of
Diamonds to approx. 3 carats. All set in 18 carat White Gold.
At the back of the Pendant there is a pin (with safety catch) for use as

ensures that the Jewel is quick to convert and comfortable to wear at
all times, as a Pendant or a Brooch.
There is a generous bale at the back, which will take most sizes of
chain.
