This stunning, fine and impressive antique Victorian brooch has been crafted in 22ct yellow gold.

The centre of the flower head is embellished with a feature claw set 0.32ct Old European round cut diamond
The feature diamond is encompassed with eleven individually protruding collet set Dutch cut diamonds totalling 0.33ct; these diamonds create the stamen of the flower.

* With the nature of the petals and stamen, in addition to the period of the craftmanship, this floral design reflects details of a wild rose; however, there are other variants which may be applicable.
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.
