An incredibly intricate Victorian old-cut diamond tiara set in silver and gold, circa 1860-1870.

This beautifully handcrafted tiara features a floral spray, centrally set with a en tremblant flower. “En tremblant” is a French term – meaning “to tremble”. It was first used to describe 18th and 19th-century jewellery where parts of the diamond set pieces were attached to a trembler to create movement in the jewel when worn. This tiara is a perfect embodiment of this technique. 

The remainder of the flower spray is grain set with old mine and old rose-cut diamonds, and the central flower motif elegantly trembles on the wearer’s head.

This exquisite tiara has been intricately crafted with 170 rose-cut diamonds and 25 old mine-cut diamonds totalling 4.97 carats.

• Diamond Cut: Rose Cut and Old Mine Cut
• Diamonds: 4.97 carats (range H-I in colour, with SI clarity, typical of the era)
• Metal: Gold, Silver
