Regular price
$1,008.00
Presented is a very attractive, 18 karat gold, silver, diamond and natural pearl
bar pin. This piece is most likely American in origin and is definitely
Victorian, made between the 1850s and the 1870s. This old piece is 18 karat gold
and the darker top part is silver. We have left the dark patina of the silver to
show the age of the piece, but it can easily be polished up to a high finish if
you wish. The top is set with 4 natural pearls, 5 large diamonds and 30 smaller
diamonds. The center diamond is approximately 20 to 25 points in size, then 2
are approximately 16 points and 2 are approximately 12 points. There is about 60
to 75 points in total diamond carat weight in this pin. The diamonds are around
SI clarity and F-G color. The pin has its original C style clasp.
This piece has been tested with nitric acid and is guaranteed to be 18 karat
gold purity with a silver top.
This piece is in excellent overall condition, especially for its age. There
are no missing stones, no damages and no repairs.
The pin measures 2 5/8 inches long and weighs 10.4 grams.
