Exquisite Antique Brooch with a Diamond Star Design

Dating from circa 1885-1890, this late Victorian star brooch is set with old mine-cut and rose-cut diamonds. It is designed as star with twelve arms set throughout with cushion and elongated cushion shape old mine, rose and single-cut diamonds, mounted in patinated silver-topped gold. Modern in its clean, geometric form, this versatile jewel, a product of highly skilled workmanship, showcases fiery old diamonds whose brilliance pops against the dark silver.
