This stunning Victorian diamond pendant has been crafted in 15ct yellow gold with a platinum setting.
The pendant features a teardrop shaped body ornamented with a central collet set Old European cushion cut diamond, surmounted with a smaller, collet set, Old European round cut diamond.
These diamonds are bordered by two plain platinum set concentric bands, separated by a narrower band embellished with seven, individually collet set Old European cut diamonds.
