Antique Victorian 14ct Gold Turquoise and 1.50ct Diamond Brooch

This stunning 14ct yellow gold Victorian bar brooch, circa 1880, is a captivating example of late 19th-century elegance. The brooch is centered around an exquisite oval turquoise stone, which serves as the focal point of the design.

The rich, vibrant turquoise is framed by a delicate arrangement of twelve old cut diamonds, which are expertly set along the bar and around the turquoise, adding a touch of sparkle and sophistication.

An old cut diamond is a diamond that was cut by hand, before modern cutting techniques were developed. These diamonds feature a unique, slightly larger table and a less intricate facet pattern compared to today’s brilliant cuts. As a result, they have a distinct, soft, and warm sparkle, often described as a vintage, romantic glow. The old cut diamonds used in this brooch add a timeless charm and authenticity to the piece, reflecting the craftsmanship of the era.

The combination of the vivid turquoise and the brilliant diamonds creates a striking contrast, making this brooch a true statement piece. The diamonds, with an approximate total weight of 1.50ct, are carefully cut to ensure maximum brilliance, and their soft, timeless appeal complements the vibrant hue of the turquoise perfectly.

Crafted from rich 14ct yellow gold, the brooch retains the classic Victorian aesthetic with its clean lines and refined proportions. The piece's design exudes antique charm, offering an exquisite blend of colour and sparkle that is sure to enhance any collection or outfit.

With its antique charm and timeless beauty, this Victorian bar brooch remains a stunning tribute to the craftsmanship of its era.
