An Early 20th Century Sapphire and Diamond Pendant/Brooch, the oval mixed cut sapphire within a border of old cut diamonds, to a pierced wirework frame, inset with further diamonds, total estimated diamond weight 1.00 carat approximately, measures 2.3cm by 4cm, in a fitted case

Sold for £3,000
Estimated at £600 - £800


 

The pendant has a replaced/reworked pendant loop, this is hinged to open to allow it to be fitted to wider gauge chains/pearls. The pendant fitting unscrews to detach and can be replaced by a brooch pin fitting. The brooch pin, catch and screwdriver are all contained in the base of the fitted case. None of the component parts bear a hallmark, nor stamp, but in our opinion it would test as gold, possibly platinum fronted. The approximate qualities of the diamonds are; colour G/H/I, clarity SI1/SI2/I1. Gross weight (as a pendant) 5.8 grams. CR made 20th June 2016
