A 19th century silver and gold diamond tiara. The rose
A 19th century silver and gold diamond tiara. The rose and old-cut diamond floral centrepiece, with similarly-set sides of foliate stems holding rose-cut diamond buds and flowers aloft, all atop a rose-cut diamond line. Estimated total old-cut diamond weight 4 to 4.50cts, principal old-cut diamonds estimated I-J colour, SI1-P1 clarity. Total weight 108.1gms.
Condition Report: Overall condition fair to good. Some surface scratches/ wear, discolouration and minor dents in keeping with general age and wear.
Metal tests as silver to the front and approximately 9ct to 12ct gold to sections of the reverse.
Soft solder visible to the reverse.
Central section and the right side floral section are slightly loose, may require attention to be tightened.
One small foliate section to one side is deficient.
Evidence of some possible repairs/ alterations to the reverse.
Diamonds well matched.
Diamonds bright.
Due to the cut and setting of the rose-cut diamonds we are unable to provide an estimated total diamond weight or accurate colour and clarity assessment.
Diamonds generally with small to moderate light and feather inclusions, some eye-visible. Some diamonds with small chips and nicks to facet edges and girdles.
Estimated dimensions of principal pear-shape rose-cut diamond 7.8 by 7mms.
The rose-cut diamond collets appear foil-back.
Two of the larger pear-shape rose-cut collets either side of the central section appear a yellowish brown hue.
Individual size and setting of non-principal old-cut diamonds prevents accurate colour and clarity assessment.
Length of central section 5cms.
Inner diameter 15cms.
With cord fastening to the reverse.
Fellows uses a Thermo Scientific Nitron Handheld XRF Analyser to test metals. This technology is limited to examining metal to a depth of approximately 8 microns.
Fellows does not guarantee the standard of gold or platinum unless an item is hallmarked. Results from electronically tested items should only be used as a guide and with caution, as false readings are possible.
Condition reports are offered as a guide only and we highly recommend inspecting any lot to satisfy yourself as to its condition.
