This Victorian rose-cut diamond brooch with cultured pearls is crafted in 18k yellow gold, weighs 4.5g and measures 29mm wide and 5.5mm wide. This delicate Victorian rose-cut diamond brooch of unusual design is reminiscent of the late Victorian 'novelty jewelry' with an extensive repertoire encompassing naturalistic, sentimental and a variety of other motifs such as kenneled dogs, rabbits biting carrots, chickens emerging from egg-shells and the like. This alluring, naturalistically inspired Victorian brooch exposes a delicate openwork lozenge plaque composed of four 'logs' immaculately rendered in 18k yellow gold, sporadically textured to display the botanically accurate surface of a tree-trunk and accurately crafted 'incision' ends. This delicate lozenge plaque is centrally decorated with a prong-set rose-cut diamond, measuring 3.25mm in diameter, surrounded by round, 3mm 'cream' colored cultured pearls in quatrefoil motif. The latter are mounted in closed settings and resemble temptingly sweet 'buds' with stems extending to the four angles of the lozenge panel. This authentic late Victorian 'novelty' brooch features the original pin and C-clasp, stamped with the purity mark '18k'.
