An incredible Victorian era rose cut diamond pendant. A 6.3 mm rose cut diamond is set into a fine silver topped bezel. The diamond shines from this simple, flattering setting. Throughout history diamonds have usually been set in white metals and true to it's Victorian era nature it's been set in silver which was used before platinum, and later white gold, came into use in jewellery. The back side of the collet is yellow gold. There is a small hook, coiled within the collet, which would have originally connected this piece to another jewel. We've left it in case the new owner wishes to further alter it, such as adding a gemstone drop. We've added a simple bail to make this rose cut diamond into a wearable pendant and we're used 18 carat white gold to keep the entire front face up white. Circa 1860s - 1880 diamond and collet, modern conversion.
