Description

A beautiful, intricate example of the jeweller's art.

An early twentieth century diamond, white and yellow gold brooch. The square cut diamond (ca 3mm) is rubover-set to the centre. The outer border of the white gold setting is a delicate bright-cut band giving the illusion of further milgrain set diamonds. Delicate tracery suspends the stone and extends down the sides to give depth. The back is yellow gold with pin and safety clasp marked 14K. From the design - which combines a classic Art Deco shape with the delicate tracery evocative of the Edwardian era, probably transitional - ca1920-30. From the mark, probably US. 46 x 11mm, 2.8g)

I trade in small silver, jewellery and objets d'art. I sell primarily at antiques fairs and in cabinets in Christique Antique Centre in Dorking. I try to find unusual and interesting stock and like to keep turning it over, so I can buy more. Postage and packing are free within the UK - unless explicitly stated otherwise. All fine jewellery will be supplied with a box. If the box/case is described in the text, it will be the one photographed, but may not be if it is not mentioned explicitly. I keep hardly any stock at home, if you want to buy something and need it urgently, I will usually do it the next day, but it may take me some time to respond if you need extra photographs and/or details about the piece that I do not have to hand, as I typically visit the antiques centre just once a week. If you don't see what you're looking for - feel free to send an enquiry via the site. I have only been able to list a portion of my stock.

I will always mention anything that materially affects the aesthetic or function of a piece, but will not attempt to describe what I consider to be normal for age and use. Please use the photographs as well as you can and I’m always happy to answer specific questions.
