This Victorian English brooch with a locket, a rose-cut diamond and demantoid green garnets is of English provenance crafted in 9ct matted and polished yellow gold, weighing 3.8g and measuring 49mm long, 21mm wide and 6mm deep. Quintessentially Victorian in design and revealing the impact of Etruscan Revival style upon Victorian jewelry design, this authentic 19th century locket brooch depicts an exquisite marquise plaque of elaborate design and decorative details. A glowing rose-cut diamond measuring 2.5mm in diameter, and a duo of flanking demantoid green garnets, cumulatively weighing 0.06cts, graded 'lively-chartreuse' color and 'good' clarity embellish the center of this refined original English Victorian brooch, deep-mounted within lozenge settings, atop an ovular silhouette. The latter is rendered 'en relief' in elegantly matted yellow gold, embellished with an Etruscan style granulation rim. A meticulously chased Etruscan motif surround augments the aesthetic beauty of this Victorian locket brooch, complemented by an artistically dented and granulated perimeter and a duo of Fleur-de-Lis 'en relief' profiles rendered in polished yellow gold.
This enticing English Victorian brooch of unmatched finesse features an ovular locket compartment with transparent crystal lid to conceal a lock of hair, a photograph, or any other memento of sentimental significance. An original hinged pin and a C-hook secure this intriguing Victorian locket brooch, stamped on reverse with the purity mark '9ct' and the goldsmith's initials 'A & G'.
