Magnificent Vintage American 14k Gold Pin/Pendant w Pearls Diamonds
Regular price
$698.40
Presented is a magnificent 14k gold pin/pendant with pearls and diamonds. The
gold is worked into an ornate and symmetrical design. The center of the pin has
a single diamond with 8 branches of gold extending out from it. Around the outer
circumference of the pin there are alternating diamonds and pearls. Each diamond
is securely set with six prongs. The pearls are approximately 3.9 millimeters in
diameter. The outer diamonds are about 8 points each and the center diamond is
about 12 points, for a total of about 1/2 carat in diamond weight. The diamonds
are I-1 clarity and I-J color. On the reverse is a secure clasp and strong pin
shaft. Above the pin shaft is a bail which can be tucked behind the pin shaft so
that this piece can easily be worn as a pin or as a pendant. The bail can be
moved to the side, so it can comfortably accommodate a fairly large chain, or it
can be effectively tucked out of the way to wear as a pin.
The pin is marked 14k on the clasp. We have tested it with nitric acid and
guarantee it to be 14K gold.
The pin is in excellent condition. All of the gold work is intact. The pearls
and diamonds are securely set. There are no breaks, no chips, no splits, and no
repairs.
The pin is approximately 1 1/4 inches in diameter.
The pin weighs 8.1 grams.
