This fine and impressive antique brooch has been crafted in 15ct yellow gold.
The antique diamond and enamel brooch has been modelled in the form of a horse and jockey.
The jockey is ornamented with impressive hot enamel, replicating the blue and white silks, blue cap and black boots.
The reins and saddle have been crafted in 15ct yellow gold.
The horse's eye is represented by a 0.01ct cabochon cut garnet.
The horse is ornamented with a total of thirty-one pavé set diamonds, in a combination of Dutch cut and mine cuts.
This impressive horse and jockey design surmounts a horizontal cylindrical bar, accented with baluster shaped terminals.
The horse brooch secures to the reverse with a hinged pin and clasp.
This antique diamond jockey brooch has been independently tested using state of the art technology (Niton XL2 Analyzer) and verified as 15 carat gold.
This impressive jokey brooch is supplied with an IDGL diamond and gemstone grading report card.
Such brooches featuring a full jockey, straddling the horse with visibility from both sides, are becoming increasingly difficult to locate; this desirable three-dimensional design indicates the high quality of the piece.
Images do not always reflect the true colour and brilliance of gemstones and diamonds. The video however provides a truer representation of the actual colour and showcases each stone.
Date: Circa 1890
