Antique brooch/locket made in 1914

$1,450.00

Here is such a charming antique brooch that not only will be admired and look so elegant each time that it is worn, and can so easily be worn day or night and always look perfect.

Made in 18 carat yellow gold in 1914, not only is the design so attractive, but it is further highlighted by the 0.08 carat single cut diamond sparkling beautifully in the centre in that lover star setting.

And then on the reverse side of the locket is a compartment for a lock of hair or a photo, making this so much more personal when worn.

Measuring 15.6mm wide at the centre by 42.8mm across, this is the perfect brooch to wear for any event.

What are single cut diamonds?

Single cut diamonds

In recent years there has been such a resurgence for genuine antique cut diamonds, especially for engagement rings as many people realise that there is such a charm and character about antique cut diamonds, and although the reality is that they don't sparkle as great as a modern round brilliant cut diamond, antique cut diamonds have a style and character all of their own that can never be matched.

Single cut diamonds

Single cut diamonds are small diamonds usually around 0.01 carats to 0.05 carats and are often found on the shoulders of rings or surrounding a centre stone for example. While today modern technology will allow for a 0.01 carat diamond to have 58 facets and be a round brilliant cut diamond, single cut diamonds were used from the later part of the 19th Century up until around the 1930's-1940's. Commonly found with eight facets on the top (the crown) and eight facets on the bottom (the pavilion) these are sometimes found with total facets between 16 to 18.
