Old Mine Diamond Bar Brooch c1880

Old Mine Diamond Bar Brooch c1880

Exquisite, intricate metalwork and the alluring glitter of old mine cut diamonds come together in this bold brooch from the late 19th century! The flat rectangular brooch is paved with thirty-nine diamonds, each set in its own delineated shape defined by deeply carved lines and delicate open spaces that provide shadowy contrast, highlighting the brooch's incredible geometric patterns. While this stunning brooch is set mostly in rich yellow gold, it is topped with platinum, accentuating the diamonds' brilliant shine with a gleaming, bright white setting. Its versitile shape wears beautifully as a buckle on the waist, along a strap, as a centerpiece along the neckline, or as a closure for an elegant sweater or dress (as pictured!). It adds dazzling intrigue to a suit jacket pocket or lapel as well– the possibilities are endless for this striking antique brooch!
