Antique Star Pendant/Brooch
18ct Gold Tested
Circa 1870
An extraordinary masterpiece of Victorian celestial jewellery, this original starburst pendant-brooch dates to circa 1870. Craftsmanship of this quality is deeply coveted, capturing the peak of the 19th-century fascination with astronomical motifs.
Set with approximately 3.00 carats of sparkling natural old-cut diamonds, the dramatic 12-point starburst radiates from a prominent central old European-cut diamond. In classic Victorian tradition, the piece is constructed with a hand-cut silver front to enhance the bright fire of the diamonds, backed in solid 18ct yellow gold for strength and luxury.
Designed for ultimate versatility, it features a completely removable, screw-off brooch fitting so it can be worn comfortably and flat against the chest as a pendant, or worn as a brooch. It comes complete with its original attached safety chain and pin.
Total weight 13g
The star measures approximately 40.8mm in height and 34.8mm in width.
*The chain is sold separately
