A breathtaking Victorian diamond star pendant and brooch, crafted in silver and gold and set with approximately 2.70 carats of bright, antique old-cut diamonds. This celestial masterpiece dates to circa 1880 and showcases 32 hand-cut diamonds, each uniquely faceted to catch the light with incredible brilliance.
The star is meticulously designed with a 4.5mm central old-cut diamond, encircled by six additional old cuts, with three graduated diamonds adorning each point of the six-rayed star. Between each point, old-cut diamonds add further depth and sparkle. The removable diamond-set bail features an additional old-cut diamond. The brooch fittings are removable, allowing for a seamless transformation between a pendant and a brooch.
This wonderful convertible Victorian star is a true collector’s piece—wear it as a statement pendant or an elegant brooch, celebrating the symbolism of guidance, hope, and celestial beauty that the star motif has long represented in antique jewellery.
