Rose Gold Diamond and Pearl Bar Brooch, 1.00-Carat

This wonderful bar brooch exudes the unique jewelry characteristics of the 1890s, when fashion was transitioning from the opulent and highly decorative Victorian era. It features an airy framework with clean lines and exhibits nature-inspired and telltale elements of the Aesthetic Movement. Crafted in warm 14K rose gold and showcasing a sparkling Old Mine Cut diamond flanked by freshwater pearls. Each gem resides in a prong setting, allowing it to move freely within a circular frame. The 2-inch-long frame is embellished overall with delicate clover accents and fleur-de-lis motifs. The 1.0-carat Old Mine Cut diamond, with its unique sparkle, possesses a VS2 clarity rating and an H color. The 2 freshwater pearls are 4.7mm x 4mm.
