For sale is this marvellous antique Cupid brooch. This 18 karat solid yellow gold beauty with a royal layer of patina, dates back to the 1880's, during Queen Victorias reign. This romantic pin is set with multiple diamonds and rubies. The details in this brooch are truly phenomenal. The rose-cut diamond encrusted wings are breath taking in real life, while the old mine cut diamond in the cherubs basket makes our heart skip a beat. Two additional old mine cut rubies bring this timeless beauty a warm and extra romantic look.
This nineteenth century brooch features a sweet cherub, holding a basket with three gemstones while floating through the air with his sparkling wings and a ribbon around its waist. We are pleased to let you know that this brooch is in excellent condition. The longer pin with C clasp works perfectly, did you know that this pin is longer than modern pins because fabrics used to be thicker during the Victorian era? An additional pin was added to this brooch with a safety chain as an extra safety measure. This stunning brooch is set with a total of thirty-six rose cut diamonds and one large old mine cut one. These authentic natural diamonds were all cut by hand and therefore unique, which makes us loving them even more.
We adore this cherub, because, what is not to love? It is wonderfully detailed, the colours match perfectly and the diamonds are truly the icing on the cake!
