Victorian Emerald, Sapphire, Ruby & Diamond Clover Pendant / Brooch, circa 1890

A top grade example of Victorian jewellery. This highly adaptable piece can worn as a brooch or, with the removable pin unscrewed, as a pendant. Each of the three leaves is set with a precious gem; an emerald, a ruby and a sapphire. Seventy-one rose cut diamonds of graduating size are set in the silver border, with incredibly fine hand-pierced detailing in the gallery. Extravagantly lovely.

Accompanied by an independent jewellery report from IGR (#30308089).
