2.55 ct Diamond and Enamel, 9 ct Yellow Gold 'Horse and Jockey' Brooch - Antique Victorian

This stunning, fine and impressive antique brooch has been crafted in 9 ct yellow gold with a silver setting.

The antique diamond brooch has been modelled in the form of a horse and jockey.

The jockey is wearing navy and white silks, with a yellow cap and black boots.

The reins and riding crop have been crafted in 9 ct yellow gold.

The arms of the jockey are articulated to the joints; these mobile joints indicate the high quality of the piece.

The silver set horse is ornamented with a total of one hundred pavé set diamonds, in a combination of transitional modern brilliant round cuts and eight-cuts.

The horse brooch secures to the reverse with a hinged pin and clasp, and benefits from the additional security of a fine link safety chain and safety pin style fastening.

This antique Victorian equestrian brooch has been independently tested using state of the art technology (Niton XL2 Analyzer) and verified as 9 ct gold and silver.

The brooch is supplied with an independent diamond grading report card.
