Antique Victorian Ruby and Diamond 18ct Gold Hair Clip Brooch

Antique Victorian Ruby and Diamond 18ct Gold Hair Clip Brooch

Even in these times, antique jewellery proves to be as contemporary as ever as carriers of powerful timeless messages.
In all freedom, this antique Victorian ruby and diamond 18ct gold hair clip brooch flutters on the spring breeze and roaming over the pond's surface. Whenever the time of day is cold, it will hold still between the bushes clipping its legs firmly around a branch while waiting until the sun is strong enough to warm the world again. But never will it allow itself to be caged in.

Condition: very good condition

Period: ca. 1890

Material: 18ct yellow gold (touchstone tested)

Technique: By the use of a clever coil spring, the wings can be squeezed together so that a hook system opens at the back of the butterfly. When the tension on the wings is released, the hooks on the back come together again and engage in the hair or fabric on which they are placed.

Diamond(s): Six rose cut diamonds. We do not have the weight of the diamonds which is normal in our trade when it comes to rose cuts.

Precious stones: Four rubies with an estimated weight of 0.16ct.

- All colour stone weights are approximate since stones are not removed from their mounts to preserve the integrity of the setting.
