This lovely Victorian 9ct gold marquise brooch is set with an old mine-cut diamond in a bright cut "guiding star" setting on the front and it has a little locket compartment in the back to keep a lock of hair or other precious keepsake.
This brooch is beautifully crafted in bright yellow gold in a very attractive Etruscan revivalist design with intricate detailing and gold beads decorating the border. A pretty 9ct gold safety chain adds to the decorative appeal. The locket compartment in the back is unused and still has its original glass cover and yellow grosgrain ribbon liner.
The brooch comes in a wonderful antique fitted box that is covered in red and black basket weave paper and is printed "Sevenoaks, Goldsmiths & Jewellers Ltd. High St., Sevenoaks" inside the lid.
A beautiful piece of antique gold jewellery in a luxurious style and its a real treat to have the box for safekeeping too. Perfect for the lapel and equally at home on the cravat or equestrian stock, this elegant accent accessory is good for the gents or the ladies!
