This Victorian bar brooch with European-cut diamonds and natural pearls is crafted in platinum-topped 14k yellow gold, weighs 3.6g and measures 6.3cm long, 4.5mm wide and 3.5mm deep. Epitomizing the 1890's Victorian bar brooches, this authentic Victorian bar pin incorporates an immaculately crafted and pierced rectangular plaque, exposing delicate openwork lozenge profiles rendered in 'knife-edge' platinum-topped 14k yellow gold. This alluring plaque is adorned with an eye-catching trio of European-cut diamonds, cumulatively weighing 0.30cts, graded H color and VS clarity range, mounted at equal intervals within ornately chiseled, quadrangular settings. The latter are embraced by duos of enchanting lustrous, nearly round natural pearls measuring approximately 3mm in diameter. Embellished with meticulously chased perimeters, the absorbing diamond and pearl adorned openwork plaque surmounts a 14k yellow gold diaphanous gallery. This authentic Victorian bar brooch of unmatched finesse and feminine grace is secured with the original hinged pin and retractable clasp.
Bar brooches enjoyed great popularity in the last decade of the 19th century and were produced in a variety of designs. In their simplest form, these brooches were plainly set with a single diamond but their functional shape offered Victorian jewelers a field in which to exploit their far-reaching fantasy and imagination. Thus bar brooches were decorated with crescents and stars, sprays of leaves and flowers, birds and insects and the like. They remained in vogue for several decades and produced with innovative geometric and color-contrasted inspirations by Art Deco jewelry designers.
