Antique Medallion Brooch with Diamonds (c. 18th Century)
An elegant antique medallion brooch, beautifully crafted in gold with a silver front setting, designed to enhance the brilliance of its diamonds. The piece embodies the fluid lines and romantic floral influence, with its symmetrical yet organic design.
The brooch is set with a total of 26 diamonds, varying in size for a harmonious sparkle:
19 diamonds of approx. 1 mm each
6 diamonds of approx. 2 mm each
1 central diamond of approx. 3 mm
Measurements: 3.5 cm (length) × 2 cm (height)
Weight: 7 g
Condition: Good antique condition overall, with one small diamond (1 mm) missing from one extremity — hardly noticeable and not distracting from the piece’s beauty or integrity.
With its intricate design, contrasting gold and darkened silver tones, and delicate shimmer of old-cut diamonds, this brooch is a fine example of late 18th century craftsmanship.
