A Victorian Sapphire, Diamond and Pearl Star and Crescent Brooch...
A Victorian Sapphire, Diamond and Pearl Star and Crescent Brooch the crescent comprised of graduated cushion cut sapphires, split pearls and old cut and rose cut diamonds, with a star motif centrally composed of a cushion cut sapphire and old cut diamonds at five points, in yellow claw and collet settings, overlaid upon a plain polished bar terminating to old cut diamonds and pearls, total estimated diamond weight 0.30 carat approximately, case labelled Hunt & Roskell, Late Storr & Mortimer, London length 4.6cm NB: the pearls have not been laboratory tested
The brooch was valued for insurance purposes in 2013 at £1,500. The brooch is in fair condition with abrasion to the facet edges of the sapphires. It fastens with a pin and c-hook catch.
