Description

Selling a totally awesome sold to me as a "Victorian" sapphire and diamond crescent brooch, it has age to it but no hallmarks so I cannot confirm it is Victorian. It is clearly antique by the cut of the stones. It is set with graduated Antique blue natural sapphires and old cut and single cut diamonds in white faced metal (probably white gold could be platinum if it's a later piece) and the sapphires are set in yellow gold. The stones are in a cut-down collet setting, 2.6cms high by 2.4cms wide. I'd estimate around 1 carat of old cut diamonds or just under, and at least 3 carats of natural Antique blue sapphires most likely Sri Lanka origin.

It would make a beautiful conversion to a pendant, I'd planned to cut off the pin part and convert it into a pendant but I've found a large sapphire I want to buy and am madly listing/selling unused items that I have sitting around to pay for it.

The sapphires look a mid pale blue in bad lighting or low lighting and a brighter mid blue in sunlight or under strong indoor lighting so they do colour shift depending upon how strong and how bright the light is.
