Victorian 1.00 Carat Rose Cut Diamond Necklace, circa 1870

A desperately pretty Victorian diamond pendant. At the bottom of the pendant is a pear rose cut diamond secured with unusual trefoil claws. The pear attaches to an articulated ‘Y’ shape, set with a further 9 rose cut diamonds. Highly detailed – and very, very beautiful.

Circa – 1870.
