Description
Modelled in 18ct yellow gold, the brooch has no hallmarks but tests as 18ct by XRF test. The safety chain is gold plated.
The smooth and gently convex, oval shaped malachite cabochon measures 19.7mm x 14.4mm. It is set into a bezel setting, finished with milgrain detail.
Eight small Swiss cut diamonds surround the malachite cabochon, each held in individual deep bezels, again with milgrain detail. Swiss cut diamonds are a simple old cut of diamond, much like a single cut or eight cut diamond, but with a high table. Each diamond is approximately 2mm in diameter.
The brooch pin has a short tube hinge and fastens with a c-clasp.
A loop for a safety chain is present on one of the longer edges. You could replace the safety with a bail to hang it like a pendant from a chain if so desired.
Overall size is 25mm x 19.3mm x 5.6mm (not including the pin).
Weighs 5.3 grams
