This superbly modeled antique fleur-de-lis brooch is finely handcrafted in silver topped 14K gold (front – silver, back – gold). The brooch is densely set with bright white and sparkly old European, old cushion and old rose cut diamonds (mostly F-G color, VS-SI clarity), and further embellished with a band of rubies and a very fine 9 mm pearl of a pale pinkish cream color. The pearl is surmounted by a silver cap embellished with small rose cut diamonds.
The fleur-de-lis measures (without the pearl pendant) 38 x 35 mm (1 1/2 x 1 3/8 in.)
Total length with the pearl is 52 mm (2 in.)
Estimated total diamond weight is 4.60 ct. The biggest diamond is approximately 0.80 ct (G color, VS1 clarity)
