Victorian gem-set circular brooch pendant, finely crafted in 15k gold and weighing a substantial 10.6 grams. Measuring approximately 27 mm in diameter (excluding the bail), this piece presents with balanced scale and strong late-19th-century presence.
At the center rests an approximately 0.70 carat unheated purple sapphire, surrounded by a richly colored arrangement of approximately 0.80 carats of Burmese rubies. Completing the composition are approximately 1.80 carats total weight of old mine cut diamonds and approximately 3.75 carats of unheated sapphires, creating depth, contrast, and unmistakable Victorian color harmony.
Notably, the piece retains its original brooch and pendant fittings, allowing it to be worn as intended in period—either pinned or suspended—without later alteration.
