ANTIQUE 15CT GOLD OLD EUROPEAN-CUT DIAMOND BROOCH
Christine Alexander Fine Jewellery
Gather round, jewellery lovers, because this one is an absolute showstopper. Behold: a 15ct Victorian Gold brooch with a sparkly little companion – a stunning Old Mine-Cut Diamond. It's like owning a piece of history and a piece of fabulousness. Could it possibly get any better? (Spoiler: no, it really couldn't.)
Let’s talk stats first:
- Size: 42.42mm long and 11.8mm wide, making it just the right size for berets, lapels, or your fave cardigan.
- Weight: 3.85g – lightweight, but not too lightweight.
- Diamond: Approximately 0.10ct of old-world sparkle, nestled in pure Victorian splendour.
- Safety Chain: Yes, darling, because we simply cannot have this masterpiece going AWOL.
And the Diamond – oh, the Diamond! It’s an Old Mine-Cut beauty, a little less precise than modern cuts but brimming with that charming, candlelit glow that screams heritage. Its deeper pavilion and rounder shape give it a fire and brilliance that the Victorians adored. It’s the great-great-grandparent of today’s Brilliant Cut Diamond, which means you’re wearing history on your lapel (or wherever you pin it).
Gold Like You've Never Known It
This isn’t your run-of-the-mill 9ct Gold, and it’s not that 14ct stuff from across the pond. No, no, this is 15ct Gold, a now-discontinued British standard that’s 62.5% pure Gold – the kind of rarity that makes collectors weak at the knees. And that warm, reddish hue? Absolute perfection. Think of it as the Rolls-Royce of antique Gold jewellery.
Etruscan Revival: Ancient Vibes, Victorian Style
This brooch is a love letter to the Etruscans – you know, the ancient Italian artisans who believed that even the dead should look fabulous. Inspired by their intricate designs, this piece features a nod to granulation, filigree, and embossed details. It’s like the Victorians saw the Etruscan aesthetic and thought, “Yes, but let’s make it sparkle.” The result? A brooch that’s as timeless as it is breathtaking.
Why a Brooch? Because #BroochLife is Back
Trust me, brooches are having a moment. Whether you’re pinning it to a beret, jazzing up a blazer, or making your handbag the centre of attention, a brooch is the statement piece of the season. And this one? It’s not just a brooch – it’s a story, a legacy, a conversation starter.
