Antique Mid-Victorian Enamel & Diamond Brooch

Antique Mid-Victorian Enamel & Diamond Brooch, the pierced and stepped quatrefoil brooch set with rose cut diamonds and black enamel.

This brooch is a fine example of the enamelling technique Taille d’épargne. With this technique designs are etched into the metal and the recesses are filled with opaque enamel, usually black enamel. Commonly used in mourning jewellery, this method of enamelling was superseded by guilloche enamel, which used translucent enamel over engine turned patterns.

Metal: 18ct yellow gold.

Weight: 10.88 grams.

Diameter: 4cm.

 Condition: Very good antique condition, minor enamel loss.

SEDGWICKS pride ourselves on sourcing and selling Antique & Estate Jewellery that is of fine quality and in great condition.

Antique & Estate Jewellery is seldom in perfect or ‘new’ condition as age is inherent for it to be classified as such. Nearly all items we sell are ‘Second-hand’ and will almost certainly show some signs of wear. These may include faint scuffmarks and small dents, even very minor repairs. These are considered acceptable when dealing with objects that have lived a full life. Any imperfections or minor damage will be listed in the description and visible in the photo.

We do ask that you carefully view the photographs provided and note we are happy to supply more images or fuller description if requested.

To help you make your assessment, many higher value items are accompanied by an Independent Valuation for Retail or Insurance Purposes.
